The 'Now' Matters

The 'now' matters...!

May you see and realise life, 'oh' dear,
without a cloak on any form of fear!
Out in the open - nay light and nay dark, 
existence alone that is clear and stark.

Influences from the records of past, 
doesn't auger well, but tend to last!
Wavering mind needs perennial feed,
portends fearful future from past deed.

'Now' is true - past and future 'a stew'!
in life, as hunters and gatherers we grew.
Say from 'now to now' and every now anew,
attributes beyond gets you only to hue!

Embrace the 'now' and see all dissipate,
taking or leaving nothing at all to fate!
In this theatre that is beyond realms of mind,
be fixed in the 'now', for 'IT' to seek and find!
