Living In the Now

surrendering in blind faith
seeking genuine serenity

afraid deep down
to let go without reservation

to the point it may
change my life momentously

that it may change everything
thinking i’m not ready

Our past effects our NOW and our NOW effects our future. So the only thing that is real is what is happening at this moment, and that has all my attention, not regretting the past or worrying about the future. If we can be strong enough NOW we are really controlling our futures.

Hello Line! I am a music composer and I really like your poems. Can I use this poem in my song? For now I don't have a plan of publish or perform so it will just be in home. Thanks!

I love how the ending is so human... it is so like someone to go through all the thoughts and emotions leading up until, nah, not today.... and let it go just as quick... thats what I felt... I liked it. real.
