The Moment of Now
Tomorrow is not a given;
yesterday can't be taken back.
Today is your reality;
and hope is what keeps you on track.
Live within the moment of now;
delve into the essence of you.
And ask yourself if you're happy;
have your wishes and dreams come true?
Look deep within your fragile heart;
have its wounds festered over time?
Or have they been healed by a love
that can only be called sublime?
Take a break; step outside yourself
and see the you that others see.
For when you're always performing;
you see what you pretend to be.
We are but actors on life's stage;
roles written by the hand of fate.
And, while rehearsing for our parts,
it is hard to communicate.
