Ask not what tomorrow brings--it is but just a dream.
Think not unkindly of days gone by--they are but water in a stream.
Now is the time, it fits the bill--it lies before my eyes.
The present is reality--not made of fiction or of lies.
We all walk down a path of life--a field of shifting time in space.
We walk alone when darkness comes--no matter what our pace.
The sun and moon may light the way--the road is smooth and fast.
Uncertainty lies before us--confusion in our past.
A breeze blows gently in the air--the lilting tune of time.
It whispers softly in my ear--the song is sweet--the sound, sublime.
I listen closely to the words that are whispered in my ear.
The moment I have waited for is quickly drawing near.
A sound so quiet it can't be heard is echoing inside of my mind.
The word I hear, I've heard before but the word I just can't find.
I've closed my eyes and settled back--don't even ask me how.
The word has sprouted from deep within--the word I hear is...now.~Jay O.
