NO ENCORE By Kathryn Tate Jacoby, www.PoetryPoem.com/poetessktj Unlock all Features - Upgrade to Poetry Prime
‘Tis now,
this very moment,
one must live and breathe
for it is all there is.
No guarantees
of tomorrow,
for no such thing exists,
and never will.
And what of
the past?
Only moments that remain
in one's memory, recalled…
non-existent too
This is all there is…
this
MOMENT.
Hear it, see it, feel it,
touch and taste it,
live it, cherish it,
savor its fleeting beauty,
embrace its uniqueness,
There must be no regrets…
there can be none
once you realize
there is never
an encore, just…
now.
(Dedicated to the wisdom shared by Eckhart Tolle...and all the sages throughout history)
