Here and Now

Sometimes I despair
Not having an infinite life
The end haunts me
With its long dark shadows.
But I look closely
To see what I do have
Here and now…

I look and see
Here and now is wonderful.
Here and now is joyful.
Here and now is peaceful,
Here and now is enough,
More than enough,
If I let it be.

Now I thank God,
Consciousness, intelligence,
Life and light,
Shining into this moment,
For everything here and now,
More than I can ever hold,
Here and now.
