From Solstice to Solstice, winter and summer, time passes.
From Equinox to Equinox, the vernal to the autumn.
Counting minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, and years - inevitable.
This tick-tocking of time from the day we are born to death.
We think we have so much of it, but it's gone in a flash.
Who will remember us in a hundred years time or less?
So live in this moment; this here and now, relish it's power!
Revel in it, breathe it in, and let it flood all of your senses.
See it, hear it, smell it, taste it, touch it, take it inside you.
No past, no future, just the present - this gift of a life.
It's all we have, no time for regrets, just live and live again.
Drink it all in, fill your cup up, and drain it to the dregs!
