    The Now

    Breezes carress
    The shallow parts
    Of me.

    Today I wake
    And wonder
    What I have
    Dismayed.

    What is it like
    To fly again?
    Not with a string
    But just because
    It's beautiful.

    Come, my friends
    My spirit guide
    Not too slippery,
    Or I'll slide.

    Looking up
    I see you wave
    Wondering
    In my dismay of 
    Feelings.

    Where are they now?
    Creaking as they
    Know not how.

    Filtering
    The dirt, the bleak.
    Blessings are not
    What I seek.

    Faithfully, I'm
    Still at last.
    Living in the now,
    Not past.

    I really like this, sometimes it is so hard to let go of the past and live in the now, very good poem.

    living in the now not the past the one and two line stanza are uplifting yet delicately put, strong ending. Great poem

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
