Now and Here (poem)

The wick of sovereignty is seldom lit,

as abstinent as they might feign ,

once times perilous , yield to wit ;

It is the epoch of despotic reign…..



The manors, once bustling with ambrosia,

now wither in vain ,

acquiesce for a morsel gone by,

as parched as can be , without rain……….



Hitherto all but one perish,

“Ludicrous it was!”Some doubt;

as goes on the insane bout ,

A moment’s notice seems unfeasible

yet an hour did he cherish.

In the quiet expanse of the present moment, the poem "Now and Here" whispers a profound truth, urging us to embrace the immediacy of life. It speaks of the fleeting nature of time, where each second, once it passes, becomes a distant memory, and the only reality that truly exists is the one we are living right now. The poem draws our attention to the subtle beauty that surrounds us, in the rustle of leaves, the warmth of sunlight, and the gentle embrace of a breeze. It is a call to pause, to breathe, and to find joy in the everyday miracles that often go unnoticed. "Now and Here" is a gentle reminder that life is not a destination but a journey, and the most meaningful moments are not found in some far-off place or future time, but in the here and now, in the depths of our own experience. Through its verses, the poem encourages us to let go of regrets from the past and fears of the future, to live fully in the present, and to appreciate the richness of the world as it is, right before our eyes.

The wick of sovereignty is seldom lit,

as abstinent as they might feign ,

once times perilous , yield to wit ;

It is the epoch of despotic reign…..



The manors, once bustling with ambrosia,

now wither in vain ,

acquiesce for a morsel gone by,

as parched as can be , without rain……….



Hitherto all but one perish,

“Ludicrous it was!”Some doubt;

as goes on the insane bout ,

A moment’s notice seems unfeasible

yet an hour did he cherish.
