Not a Moment To Spare
It’s now, and not a moment to spare
Trust little of the future
–Distant and nowhere near.
It’s now. Refuse to put it off
Seize today’s mirth
Squander today’s worth.
Tomorrow never fixates, always unsure
Changes by the minute
In a blink, in a heartbeat.
Blaze today, savor the moment
Tomorrow’s dream is a fool’s errand
Hardly in the grip of your hand.
Bask in today’s glory like it is your last
Cast away all the worry
Take it, and take ‘em all, time is running fast.
It’s now! –And not a moment to spare
So much of the future
There’s not a need to prepare.
