Shackles unlocked, chains fall away
Dawn breaks
Earth breathes
Tomorrow is today

Locked on the future
Minds stare unaware
Of today's treasured moments
"in the now" impaired

If today is not seen
Tomorrow is lost
What is being sought after
Will never be caught

Hold onto the present
Let go of the past
Clues to a bright future
Are Now held in your grasp

Regrets are time lost
To "could have beens" thoughts
After the fact hiccups
Of time forever lost

Sit in today's sunshine
But remember the rain
For THIS MOMENT is priceless
It won't come again
