There Is No Time Like the Present

There is no time like the present 






The only time you can embrace
moments lived in absolute grace
There is no time like the present,
Not be wasted in discontent and lament.

With alpine mountains saluting you,
vibrant seasons and countless vivid hues,
Nature as if celebrates every minute,
why not honour the vast beyond compute ?

Digging the past and stay aghast,
setting soul to uncalled for  lambaste,
Or anticipating that future be bright,
and waking up in distress past midnight.

Inhale positive vibes of torrential flow,
Appreciate seven colours of the rainbow, 
Now be the secret, now be the song,
As needles of clock keep ticking along,

Feel the mystic fragrance as of today,
every today and each day after day,
If we could introspect and reinvent,
Be sure there is no time like the present.
