O God
this living minute
is enough to thank
it's a present
not death!
Mark Wanless Oct 2022
i opened my mind to the cosmos
    humanity flooded in

the world revolved once more
    here we are again

what time is it the present
    as has ever been

do not believe these words
    you are creator

Live an eternal

present, or learn your lessons --


time and time again.

you used to dream in moody lit bars
raise your glass
higher
and higher
each time.
you used to live in tricolors
gleaming across the atmosphere
all
at once.
you used to shine brighter than the sun
but your light dimmed
darker
and darker
every time.

i know you aren’t ok anymore, but i really wish you were

I climb mountains of emotion
Ride the downhills
Trying to sync
Trying to flow
With the unpredictable path of life
On my soul-cycle Of love.

Exerting true power
I bloom
Into the flower
Of the present.

There is this deception
That I always tend to believe
The past is great
The past is the golden age

But as I wonder,
What makes the present day?
Isn't lovely?
Isn't magnificent today?

And now I reflect,
And remember Your faithfulness
The present accumulates
The wonder of Your grace
He is faithful.

You can control
The quality of your time
With your mood
Nothing has to truly ****
If you can open your mind
See past the 3D
And enter the present groove.

I don't need anyone to keep me company
When the Universe is with me at all times
Paying attention
Keeping me accountable
Being present
When I feel lonely inside.
Anais Vionet Jun 2022
My emotions get the best of me - intermittently.
I preserve them in poems,
like fluffy dinosaur feathers in amber,
because emotions never last,
as our present becomes our past,
they flicker, like lightning bugs and disappear.
