Here and Now...

[anirbas]

The past, for all of us, eventually
retreats from the center stage
of our thoughts to the peripheral
lands of dreams and memories

The future remains, as always,
imagined and misinterpreted,
incorporeal as childhood wishes,
mysterious, unbounded territory
yet to be discovered and plundered

The present, however, is tactile,
tangible, textural, loud and in your face,
dramatic with dying, vibrant with living,
concrete and truly, the only moment
that matters, here and now...

This poem gives me a wonderful lift. I want life like this, not only in my face, but facing it, with every bit of acceptance I can muster. Nothing less. Love this.

Thank you so much, Miz Heart, for your read and comments!!!
Yes, always face life...For to look away from life, is to die...Yes?

makes me want to chew a grape now and later slowly and wake up into tomorrow, which is just a new and refreshed today, after all, the only time that matters, is now. do they make a watch that tells that time alone?

[anirbas]

Sadly, no. But, if you make it, I will buy one...lol
