Today

Today, it has now risen

Its magic may disappear before we’re bitten

Unless we hold mind and time at bay

By making awareness break away

The mind has a label for today

Good or bad, but it’s not just another day

Today maybe when we finally see

The depth and grandeur of the bottomless sea

We’ve washed ashore on the mind, a tiny beach

It keeps our feet dry, but depth’s out of reach

Replaced by waves of the past and future

Today is forgotten, if those waves decide to mature

Today, there is no better day and time

Our involvement cannot be part-time

If we want to rise to the heights today brings

Only today hosts the moment that has wings
