I wrote this as I was in bed unable to sleep and couldn't shake away my thoughts focused on something that I thought was too important to let go.
But then this came out and I was more rested...
Tossing and turning
Hard to rest the mind
Stressors of the day
Are playing on rewind
The past is now my present
The present is forgotten
As my mind plays this game
The ripe has now become rotten
So quickly the past re-surges
So quickly I feel lost
Now I acknowledge the present
No matter at what cost
It is the present that will set me free
It is the present that will listen
The past only sees what went wrong
No past now as the truth has risen
In the presence I can think of you
In this moment I am yours
My heart is captivated and drunk
While my spirit rises and soars
I am renewed once again
I have also tasted death
I have chosen the stillness
In silence I hear my breath

Thank you for reading. May love bless you and keep you safe.
About the Creator
Midnight
60 seconds… 59 seconds… Time was slipping through his fingers, though he clawed at the falling grains of sand, he could not stop the hourglass from flowing. Around him, the silence was deafening. He had taken over every screen in the command centre, putting the terrible seconds before the terrified eyes of his friends and comrades.
