Now is a Moment that Passes

That is how i describe right now.

It is just a part of the tao;

which informs us of how things are,

both here and on a distant star.

Distant stars represent our dreams

but they are far away it seems.

On the other hand, now is here,

in our grasp it would appear.

But our own nows can slip away.

Tomorrow is another day.

Enjoy this moment while we can,

as we have done since time began.

The now is mighty slippery

on its way to eternity.
