You reflect "this present moment", with the short poem, quite well. I have never seen this poetry form before. It seems there is no end. Thank you for sharing your beautiful work. Even though this is without author's name, I have a feeling I know who you are. ð???

I like this poem. It delivers a hidden message: "Let the past be the past, the future is unknown, Live the present Moment."

If people can make today 'good"; tomorrow will be better.

Happy New Year.

I like the message of your poem that you expressed in so very few words. Most people life either in the past or in the future. The present is where life happens.

I think there is a beautiful message in these lines. The present moment is the only moment we are sure of living...we don't know what tomorrow will bring. I wish you well in the contest.

I'm not sure about breathing freely, but I do know, there's absolutely nothing we can do about the past, and what we do now can determine the future to a point, but this moment is all we have, so we can at least have some control, well done, good entry, good luck, blessings Roy

Live..... into the present moment. I think I'll adopt that as a mantra. There is no living to be done in the past and just living in the moment of the present can help pave the way for better living ...or at least coping...in the future

Great picture to go with your two-line poem. I like the exhortation to "live into the present moment" as it frees us from worrying about what might have been and what disaster might happen. Best wishes in the contest!

What a well done presentation this is with the lovely picture and your words to go with it. i think we would all be so much more content in life if we truly learned to live in the moment.

This work has reached the exceptional level

Hello,
These are ten powerful words about living in the present moment. I concur, once you do that you can breathe freely. This was skillfully and creatively written. I like it!! Well done. Also, your imagery works well with this 8-6 poem. I say live for today, tomorrow is gone and the future will be here soon.
