Gift Of


There's no time like the present

Because this is a gift

A shifting sea of sandy shades

Grinding lenses lift

Feelings of quintessence

External lights until that fades

Unto the omniscient

Whisper takes your breath

Carpe diem. Maybe we starve and neglect our present moments because we're always looking forward and backwards. Your poem is a reminder to stay in the moment, because we'll never have another one just like the present one. Cheers.
