in now

to think is to exist in this now

beyond which no further moment lies,

no minus moments to conceive,

no longer being to recollect.

though now is but one note in the great harmony,

now is all there is to be;

its faith, its note to resonate;

its crescendos, its legacy.

now is a breath on a wind waiting.

now is a spawn of motion.

in now exist galore...

Spoken like a leader in the role of "being"...who you are NOW changes who you will become later:)

[m.s.early]

Indeed. That is poignant thought :)

The beginning reminds me of the Rene Descartes quote "I think, therefore I am." I like all of the musical language you chose to use, although I wish the piece had a little more "music" in it to go with the terminology (music in poetry includes things like diction, rhyme, etc). The momentum is good in this, and I like the way the lines flow, until the very last -- not sure if it fits?

that is well done...
now ..live the moment ! :)

[m.s.early]

Indeed. Thank you stars :)

[stars are far]

:) My pleasure silver :)

[Mockingbird]

existing in now seems pretty sanguine especially for those who live for future moments at which time there will be 'no minus moments to conceive, no longer being to recollect.' there's got to be a better way.

[m.s.early]

A better way? Oh no, I think. :)

though now is but one note in the great harmony,
now is all there is to be...

Such an awesome truth in this brief poem, Xavier. Now is the greatest gift, and deserves our full attention...

[m.s.early]

Indeed Rita. Thank you for your review :)

[Lydia Shutter]

This is the moment we need to worry about...not the past and not the future. Now is the tangible. Very wise and philosophical words here. I liked it. Lydi**

thank you so much lydia, i agree wholeheartedly...

[Rehan Roy]

Being in this moment, without 'waiting' for the future or brooding over the past. One ought to be far-sighted but being futuristic is a degenerative demenor. Your lines are educative.

[m.s.early]

indeed, rehan. thank you for your thoughts...

[AYVID N]

Now is all. Now sets into motion everything that's to be...Very well said Xavier!

(: thank you divya :)

Sami kind of summed it up already, but is it just me or should the last exist have an S on the end?

[m.s.early]

You're the second to ask that. It's an imperative sentence. Literally translated: You go exist now excedingly.

[Lyn Anderson]

Yeah that clears up everything. You are like the tech geek who fixes my computer. :)

[m.s.early]

That is both funnier and more true than you know

[Sami Khalil]

Past is past for we can't change it. Future is not promised. So live in the present but have plans for the now and future come what may...A wonderful write...
