Now



No need to turn a leaf
to feel the veins
you know they are there
No need to smell the fragrance
of blossoms
in the air

No need to feel the thorn
its sharpness is always felt
No need to feel the thirst
touch the ground 
Where you have knelt

No need to wipe the dew from the pane
you know how high the moon
No need to look at stars
the light shines in the room

No need to wipe a tear
No need to brush the brow
No need to kiss the lips
you know the moment’s now

Where is the mind
when it circles the moon?
Where is the mind
when it catches
a tune?

How do we listen
when voices are loud?
Where are the words
when caught in
a crowd?

A moment becomes moments
as ships pass in the night
The moment is now
with each and every flight

No need to explain
No need to expand
No need to tell a story
just march with the band

Hear with your heart
Hear with you mind
Hear the beat within
no steps left behind

How to take a step
How to run a race
How to play a tune
questions not faced

Your mind is the book
Your eyes are the words
Your face masks the truth
when nothing is heard

The moment is now
as time will fly
Reach upward
your mind is the sky
