This Moment is Now

This piece was originally the first five stanzas of "Dominion in 7 Steps", but I feel they fit better as their own separate poem...

This moment is right now.

Here, exactly where you are.

Nothing else in the world matters,

neither near here nor far.

You are new every moment.

Progress is God's law.

Then since you reflect God,

progress is also your law.

Past and future are only limits;

they actually aren't even real.

They just want to get us all

to change the way we feel.

What we've learned is a part of us.

It shows us how we've grown.

The future is irrelevant;

it is completely unknown.

By solely living in the now,

your heart can wholly live and learn

to its fullest potential, then

you'll reap the good you earn.
