The 'Eternal Now'

I sat amidst the mountain top,
dreaming of the abyss....

The ocean roared in the sea below,
as I was seeking heaven's kiss....

Notions of memories past,
and glimmered through my mind,
I sorrowed that some did not last,
as life went by so fast.....

The tale of the mystic is to render every dream...
To cherish all the beauty now and on the horizon's screen....

Like clouds, all good and bad dreams go,
and in the end all we really have is the eternal now.

I've really been enjoying your story your characters and storytelling are fantastic. Honestly, I think it would work incredibly well as a manga or webtoon and could help you reach an even bigger audience. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist, and I'd love to help bring your story to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il: [email protected] inst@ akiraa_artly

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "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." Be blessed.
