Now

The Future is unclear

The Past is gone somehow

You are here

and this is the Now.


My Now consists

of thoughts of You

Holding your hand

Experiences that are new.


My Now consists

of loving and giving

abandoning a ship that long ago,

had already began sinking.


My Now consists

of crawling inside your Heart's Den

hearing your kind, supportive words

and letting them sink in.


My Now consists

again the words---

I Love You

and the three words build strength

the more I get to know you.


My Now consists

of your smile

rubbing whiskers

and just simply sleeping awhile.


My Now consists

of beauty and romance

to hold and be held

to take hold of this chance!

My Now consists

of You!
