Right Now

The pivot point of time is now.
When anything potentially
can step on stage and take a bow.
The past is gone beyond recall,
a moment or a century.
There is no other time at all.
The next second may never be
although we always hope it will.
There is no perfect guarantee.
Now is the sole experience
we’ve ever had or ever will.
Against this truth there’s no defence.
Whatever has been or will be
must happen now it’s plain to see.
