In the Now

In the Now

A Poem by J Schwenk
"

Be in the present, for life will fly by in the blink of an eye.

"

You see

Be here

Right here

Every fiber of your being should be here

Not there

Be in the present

Don't be over there

Be in the now

Baby

Be here

Every fiber of your being

Every fiber of your soul

Should be here

Right here

What's happening at this moment

Be here

What you want to do

Dance

Breathe

Write

Talk

Smile

Sleep

Laugh

Be aware of your presence

Be grateful

Be you

Don't think about being over there

Over there

That's where the future is

Here

When you're walking

Feel the pavement hitting your feet

Feel the crisp breeze hitting your face

Smell your takeaway coffee

Look at the people around you

Walking

Talking

Being in the world around you

There

Hasn't happened yet

Here

Is happening

Right now

Baby

Be here

Be grateful

Be in the now

Enjoy life

For everything has a lot to offer

Take life slowly

Savor it

Before it slips through your fingertips

Finding someone like you

Someone else

Like you

Be here

Be happy

Not there

But here.
