The Moment of Now
Though tomorrow's not yet risen,
yesterday can't be taken back.
Today is your reality,
and hope is what keeps you on track.
Live within the moment of now;
it is all anyone can do.
And ask yourself, are you happy,
have your wishes and hopes come true?
Look deep within your heart of hearts,
have all your wounds healed over time?
And have you experienced love
that can only be called sublime?
Have a look, step outside yourself,
and see the you that others see.
Whenever you're not performing,
are you who you pretend to be?
We are all actors on life's stage,
playing out roles written by fate.
And when we're rehearsing our parts,
it is hard to communicate.
