Now Poem by Jack Dylan

Now

Is all that we have
Did you fight
Or did you hide
And cower in fright

Did you love and give
Did you share your soul
Where you truly here and now
Did you crawl out of your hole.

Now

It’s the greatest gift
Opportunity to feel connected
Let’s get dirty together
And plant the seeds of tomorrow

You make me smile
And collect my attention
Intriguing conversation
Age of your soul goes without mention.

Now

Is always difficult to speak our truth
Fears of rejection, mismatched intentions
It is the price we pay to grow and learn
Feeding our heart and finding ourselves

I want to know what sustains you
I want to know what inspires you
And I want to know what you can’t live without
As much as what you can’t live with.

Now

Was today and I am blessed
Thank you for giving and sharing
Thank you for believing in me
Your senseless acts of caring
Fill a void that few have the key
And thank you for you being you and me just being me.
