ARMS OF THE PRESENT
 

 

I am by no means
the judge
don't wish to be
the jury
I just want to lay here
in your arms

I am no longer
angry
or full of
...fury
I am simply bedazzled
by your charms

just laying here
in the arms of the present
no longer living
in the past
trying to learn something
from each new moment
trying to make it last

I am not
longing
to touch tomorrow
for I can smell
the scents of
today

and I know that
tomorrow
will be
a place of wonder
for someone
is leading the way

just laying here
in the arms of the present
no longer living
in the past
trying to learn something
from each new moment
trying to make it last.
