The sun still rises,
Savannas awaken with hoots,
Life breathes, heart still beats.
feet displacing sand
water filling up the space
imprint vanishing
The past is gone,
Keep moving on – remembering,
Not regretting, never fretting…
What’s done is done, so keep moving on
The past is gone – the past is gone
The future is coming,
Keep hoping for the best,
There is potential in the upcoming…
But don’t let tomorrow become
The only reason for holding on
The present is here,
Keep believing in this moment,
Where light reflects the gentle,
Where hearts are embraced…
By the most beautiful gift there is –
The present remembers only this…
To grant the heart offering of one moment at a time,
One blessing that you’ll find – lives
Inside the present moment, the existing of a smile,
The wonder of the here and now,
Where each miracle can be found out…
Oh, how I love the present where I can live most richly,
With assurance that my life is flowing with an existing joy,
A joy in knowing that His love is growing – in this moment
I see it’s increase in each passing gift of the present day,
The beautiful that prays – for His lasting grace!
“As you walk and eat and travel, be where you are.
Otherwise you will miss most of your life.”
– Siddhartha Gautama
Be where you are in present time
no matter what your circumstance.
Let life herald a vernal chime
to announce its boundless expanse.
Focus on your surroundings to
be where you are in present time.
The beauty is most brilliant
when your presence is in its clime.
Eat, drink, and view, all in full-time.
Life proffers fortunes if you can
be where you are in present time.
Be 'now', forget where you began.
Treasures spill before you as gold
but not from ill-begotten crime.
Live the precise instant you hold.
Be where you are in present time.
After death, we know not the result
What will happen to us? is unknown
But, all must have that experience
None can escape it in any method
Ants die very easily everywhere
Struggle will be indeed very brief
Butterflies have a very short span
They with mirth face the end
So long as you are alive here
Be thankful to the Almighty
Do the best for the World
And be kind to every soul
Show concern and deep care
Extend true love and affection
Always help by being noble
Get favorably by God noted
Just think of the present moment
And well-utilize it with great caution
Get peace of mind and spread it
Surely your soul will get equanimity.
Time is endless - that’s what they say!
When I meet you,
In the gossamer amber twilight...
sun leaving, painting the sky
with a glistening vermillion aura,
feels like the clock is ticking,
the moment is fleeting,
too fast!
The golden past feels celestially serene and eternal,
Never escapes my crimson-hued mind.
The present is intoxicating and infinite,
Never loses its blazing, limitless charm!

In this present moment...how are you?
Before right now...what are you?
Aside from yesterday...when are you?
Beyond today..where are you?
Inside the inner darkness...who are you?
time in the past
and time in the future
in now there is no doubt
time spent outside
is a reminder to be within
being within helps out
in now there is no doubt
Tinges of radiant images drift through my mind,
as the gas light blinks with the harlequin moon, squinting
around edges of fragile reveries when
such fascination of now begins to unfold:
And nightfall’s hours plead for replays
while I hover in limbo from a trance--
My entire being focused on this singular instance ,
pouring secrecy of thoughts, raw and fresh.
Long the gazes outlining a visual language --
these interplays between a rail of young stars
and cotton candy clouds on an eveningscape...
until my very essence savors a north wind
fondling my cheeks where an astral travel with breaths
discover mystical Orion-- perhaps galaxies
unknown by any name: Then at this moment,
every quiver, each rhythm, all free movements,
time's rare stillness honors an existence
grounded in present tense, on fire.
In Moment of Time

The excellence time, the instance
Beautiful moment to spend
To someone dear heart.
Joy to feel in time as a
Whole package of moment,
Happiness bring to life,
Cherish every present moment.
Love to take and give to
Someone special heart.
Aim high to win the precious
Time life to someone.
The beauty of the moment
Present time.

Love
Embrace
Feel
Treasure
Admire
Only this
Present moment
And forget about
Every bad one
Because only then
Happiness will not run
