On Being Present
3rd December 2007 by Don Iannone
Don’t look back, you’ll only see
A faint, disappearing reality
Your past may beckon, set it free
Things behind you, let them be
Ahead of you, the future lies
Much to come, a surprise
Look ahead, if you will
But careful not, the present kill
Always in the now you are
Dangling even, from afar
Soon enough, the future comes
Now again, it becomes
Time escapes all of us
In between, we are thus
No matter where you are sent
Try your best, be present
Note: Don Iannone is the author of two published poetry books. Stilling the Waters was published in 2005 by Medicine Wheel Publishing, and Walks in Life’s Sacred Garden, which was released in May 2007 by BookSurge (an Amazon.com company).
Gears: Nikon D50 and Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 EX DG HSM APO lens
