Can you feel that one moment in time when a breeze burns the leaves into sparkles of light?
Do you see in our sky the protective umbrella that shields us from gamma rays’ threat?
If you breathe, you must know that the past and the future already exists in this now.
We can feel and can see a small part of a world still unfolding to us, but more now,
for we live but a moment compared to the span of light’s high speed trek through time.
With new lens-telescope, what has been and will be now exists in our time, in our now.
So, sniff the breeze and breathe the air, delight in lights dance and earth’s gifts
For now, you live in eternity.

My forever thoughts and beliefs, perfectly expressed as to why I try to breath each moment only in the gift of “Now”, which is the lost child of the past and the gateway to the so-called future. Love your poem.
