The Now
The Now
Every step
I’m here.
I’m here now.
I’m here again.
I’m always here.
We choose
To be here
Every moment
Every step
Because we’re here
But if we’re looking
In the mirror
Focusing on the past
We’re not here
Just a tiny little piece
Off us is present
Looking ahead
Focusing on the future
We’re not
All here
There’s just a
micro part of us
That’s present
Learning to be here
On this trail
On rocks
Trees, roots, dirt
Embracing this beauty
That lives within
The right now
Not regretting
Choices of the past
Not wishing for
Something in
The future
Just being joyous
And thankful
Glowing in the present
