Each Tick Of The Clock (Tanka)

Each tick of the clock

Signifies a new “present”

No past, no future

There is only this moment

Why not make the most of it

      That is very sad, I hope that someday you find a way to enjoy this momentary life that we have.

    Yes. Live in the moment;). I try. I really do. Are you have epiphanies right now with the impending date soon to arrive? ;)

      Actually, I haven’t been giving it all that much thought, but I guess deep down I am kind of looking forward to it. I think it is one of those moments in life that one should be proud to have achieved and I doubt I will feel any different than I did the day before. :)

    I love this, Dom. I only wish I could remain in this present forever.

    The message in this short poem is a challenging one. I often live in the fictional past and the fantastic future, but they are not as real as this moment which is ever evolving.
