Here

Body, mind and soul. The whole being should be in the present instead of thinking about the future.

Here

Over here

Look around you

Baby

Stars everywhere

Lighting up the night sky

Let everything go

Be in the now

Inhale

Slowly inhale

Take it all in

Don't wish you're over there

You're here

Not there

Baby

Open your eyes and look around

Life at this beautiful life surrounding you

Be in the present

Nothing is happening over there

It's all here

Where you are right now

Look around you

Look at this beautiful life

You're here

Feel your feet digging in the earth

Your breath moving in symphony with the wind

Your hair softly blowing against the breeze

Music surrounding your whole being

Vibrant with life

Beautiful nature in front of you

Stand in the present

For everything happens here

Not over there

Be here

Instead of over there.

Nice work J!! It reminds me of the lovely convincing which is lost in this crazy world, it reminds of a soft spoken lady, tryin best to bring back her love to her!!

Yea it's true how many of us think a lot more about the future than at the present time. It would be better if we did think about here and the now as your poem suggests. But I think life makes us think in the future instead of the now.
