No time like today.
For tomorrow is far away.
No time like the present.
You'll never resent it.
No time like the now.
I'll help you with how.
Breathe deeply just try.
These words will not lie,
Your brain will take you away.
But you must stay.
Present just to see
How much it means to be....
staying true to only you
And the thoughts that you keep.
Your secrets are safe.
And your moments are true.
There's transformation in the few
Moments with just you.
Calling all dreamers. All sinners. All rebels. All saints
The present calls for celebration of can't
I can't stop thinking
or eating
or failing
or falling
I can't stop working
or sleeping
or crying too much.
It's presence with you that I hold in my lap
This presence you speak of, I know that I lack.
Stay calm and remain here,
For this is the place
That sometimes He talks to us in the deepest of states.
He whispers your name and you may just miss it.
If you don't remember it is He that admits it
You're beauty and power
And warm summer grace
It's you that allows this place to take state
The present is the only place to be you.
So feel it embrace it, then smile for it's true.
Like hugs on a Sunday, or leaves in the fall.
Makes us stand up when we just want to crawl.
It's like seeing a rainbow after the rain.
Or a call from a friend on a cold winter's day.
It's loving someone just because you can.
It's here so grab hold of it's precious hand.
Then don't rush it away for its you that it holds.
Don't sweep it underneath where its dirty and old.
Sit up straight and take it all in
Then remember that feeling when you're sinking again.
Hold your breath you don't need to
Look into the light
A sunflower follows the sun this is right.
Cold weather will come again i am sure
This presence will help you endure.
The things that we own are not worthy of fright
Some things we lose sleep of - they're fleeting
But this is a moment for you to hold tight.
Stay here in the presence of the light.
