A Poem a Day: a Series – Day 203

Day 203: “The Present is a Friend”

---

Today I learned

I’ve been at war with the present moment

---

The now has always been a means to an end

A stop on the way to the great big something

The future I’m working toward

Clawing my way toward

---

But now is now

And that future is beautiful yet uncertain

Is in my mind

Not in my body

---

Today I’m refocusing

Getting back in my body

Putting my weapons down

And putting my arms out for the here and now
