Now

The beauty of life surrounds me,
engulfed into the reality that is now.
Though not perfect,
each passing moment draws me closer.
Inching towards the answers that I seek;
lessons learned in time.
Strength has gotten me this far,
compassion has yielded my desires.
Preparing me for something much bigger,
a life that I have yet to stumble across.
I breathe in the fresh air,
and exhale the delusions that cloud my mind.
The clouds speak of freedom,
trees tell stories of unadulterated life.
I envy the birds in flight,
winds moving them as they sway.
I wish to ground my roots,
to indulge in the power of now.
