At Present

Here it is. 
The moment you’ve been waiting for. 
You keep looking but it’s right here. 
It always was. 
Once you lose sight of it,
That’s when uncertainty prevails. 

Focus on the butterfly dutifully fluttering by-
The end of the rainbow-
That providentially hits the ground before you. 
The gust of wind, 
That ensues a rainfall of crepe colored flowers around you. 

When will you stop looking - 
Past or eventual?
Now is the most influential. 
Now holds the key. 
Now will tell you all that you need -
To feel
To know
To heal
To cherish

Consider this.
