Forever is now… There’ll be no tomorrow… It will just be today, if it comes… Yesterday’s gone… Repaid time that was borrowed… A notch on the belt, of fate’s gun… Survival’s a gamble… Time granted as money… We each spend what’s ours, as we choose… What’s mine to invest… I again vow, my honey… What you’ve given, I pray I never lose… ~ live and let live ~ |

A very elegant poem, here, I'm surprised this one was on the second page! "When red-haired girls scamper like roses over the rain-green grass, and the sun drips honey." Laurie Lee |

And that's why it's called the present... it's a gift of possibilities. *S* |

Beautiful context... a very enjoyable read!! The poet is like a cocoon; in him the caterpillar of the past finds rest, and from him the butterfly of the future emerges. |
