Sand Blown Poet Free verse

Play Louis Armstrong

now is all there is,
that's the nature of the beast,
relatively speaking
advantaging 'those' who control time...
now is a situation of absence and meaning
'those'...are us and our day to day routines
slowing down, to take advantage of the scenery...
remember the most wonderful childhood song,
'what a wonderful world' by louis armstrong...
well, now is all there is and it is a wonder(full) world...be strong

Living in the present doesn't mean not enjoying things from the past that are timeless. Great message Sand! : ) Sand Blown August 10, 2018 at 7:11 PM yes, some things are timeless...like singing of love : )
