NOW-NESS.

Fay Slimm.

 

 

Now-ness.

 

Gilded tight to tomorrow
is shiny today
of which I am part, here
in its "is-ness."

By staying connected and
not using
this instant as a means to
an end I am free.

The aliveness in "present"
is only found
by bringing my yes to the
peace of a "now."

If I celebrate moments
I will serenely
glide into next now-ness
and shall seize it.

This "now" will be but a
yesterday when
tomorrow comes round
and I start again.

    A fine write Fay. You having problems with finding 'now' as I'm having problems finding 'tomorrow?' It never comes. When it gets here, it's 'today!' Doh!

      I see your point dear friend - - we need a now that has no past or future to help us find happiness. Gad you enjoyed the read.

      Each moment in our now is so precious, treasure them.

      LIve in the moment. Make every "now-ness" a "WOW-ness." Beautiful and original words of wisdom in your poem struck me as sound advice for anyone. Loved it.- Phil A.
