Come here to now - A poem

Feb 23, 2022

By Michael Lee

“Come here,” she said,

As I looked death in her eye.

No, not yet your time, she said,

I call you instead to come to visit

Here to know me

But fear me not.

Let me remind you though,

Come here to this moment.

Life happens now

And I’m calling you “here”

Here to now.

Yes, learn from your past

And prepare for your future

But do not dwell long in either place

While now awaits you.

It is only here you can dance

Only here you can love

Only here you can breathe

And feel the wind in your face.

And the flow of this river of life.

Changing, twisting, turning

Engage it with your all

Now.

Not getting lost in the reeds

Or wasting time licking your wounds on the rocks

that occasionally rise up to hurt you.

It is all just part of the ride.

Come here

Embrace the gift of this moment

Allow it to show its beauty

and shine its light.

Come here and embrace it all.

Now.
