Cindy Bahl Poet Free verse

Only Now Is Promised

nothing awakens love, 
and the soul,
like forgetting destiny is cruel
to those who forget moments are fleeting

fate never promises a future,
not to anyone,
especially to those who neglect 
appreciating the gifts the universe bestows upon them

pay attention,
always pay attention,
this moment is the only promise 
that will be kept to you

Quoth Theraven August 23, 2021 at 8:27 PM Cindy, Very nice message in this poem. Many would sell there tomorrows for a taste of yesterday, and I am one. What's in a promise kept? All who forget destiny is cruel, and all who wonder under the sun. -Richard Cindy Bahl August 30, 2021 at 6:51 PM Richard, You said that beautifully! I love what you wrote! And thank you so much for the kind words! - Cindy

Beata Agustin August 20, 2021 at 7:19 AM Indeed! Thanks for sharing this. It's my prayer that you'll claim God's promise of love He has assured to those who trust Him as John 3:16 of the Bible says: John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Cindy Bahl August 30, 2021 at 6:52 PM Beautiful!

Caren Krutsinger August 19, 2021 at 4:44 AM Cindy, it was wise to reiterate this "pay attention, always pay attention," because it made me pay attention. Cindy Bahl August 22, 2021 at 3:21 AM Thank you so much, Caren! I really appreciate your feedback! It helps me to know what works. Thanks again!!
