My Present

My Present

I’m giving me my present
Every second I can hold
I’m standing in my power
To let the now unfold

I’m letting go of visions
Of what was, what could be
And let me tell you something
The now is where I be

For being is the secret
To lasting calm and peace
Unwrapping and unwrapping
all these gifts brought unto me

And when I’m caught in dreaming
Or story from my past
I call me, “Come back darling,
Or life goes by too fast”

I’ve stopped all rigid planning
Of a day unlimited
So miss no opportunities
Of where I might be led

And when Iseek to judge me
Or speak of old regret
My heart is firing empty
When my senses could be fed

Every precious feeling
Any sound I hear
All the colours in my sight
Might bring my freedom near

Freedom from old templates
Freedom from the sleep
Freedom from conditioning
This gift is mine to keep

No-one else can steal it
For it always starts anew
You only have to be here
And your life belongs to You
