Live NOW

Now. This time as you sit and read,
Seconds flying even as you think.
As Earth rotates on it's axis,
time, fewer than seconds, keeps getting faster.

This test we don't win, wait and listen.
It's not a war, or a race for first place.
It's the test for Joy and Love in this Life.

Everyone is good at heart.
But some get mislead from the start.
Getting fooled into taking the easy way out.
It's may be hard to change the World,
or yourself all the same.

Think of fear as from FUTURE,
afraid that something COULD happen.
Doubt is from the PAST,
LEFT from mistakes and pain
That your mind won't let pass.

NOW As you consider this, really listen to your breath,
Your heart beating in your chest,
Your blood circulating through your brain,
It is doing this NOW and that will never change!
For when you wake tomorrow,
It will forever be today...
LIVE NOW

I saw the title of this and couldn't wait to read it. Wanting to be inspired, thought provoked, and maybe even challenged. And your poem was almost exactly what I thought it would be. With the great title like you had, this is probably be something I would write. You just beat me to it. Good job. Rabbit

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
