The Now

Ripples from the past travel forth
Through the present and beyond the future
Neither changing nor ending, always continuing
The only change the memory of their moment of birth
Let go of the past as it is immune to your influence
The future defies definition
Without substance and perspective
It is so empty that the ripples of the past are not seen
They only lap at the shore of the present
This very instant contains all there is
And all that yields true experiences
Touch it, embrace it, and enjoy the thrill
Now in this instant you can create, shape and start a ripple
Your presence will cause one regardless
So seize the moment at hand
This very moment is one of immortality
Such a moment lived returns pure joy
