Here and Now As I gaze through my eyes At the infinite skies I can hear spirits whispering Here and now All these wonders unfold As the story is told How we pass through the here and now Like the song of the bird Like the wandering herd I belong to the miracle Here and now Like a wave on the sea Like the wind in the tree I belong to the here and now Here and now, all my time will allow Here and now, I'm alive somehow Like a wave on the sea Like the wind in the tree I belong to the here and now All we daughters and sons Are the fortunate ones Who belong to this miracle Here and now See the lines that we cast To the future from past Never capturing here and now Here and now, all our time will allow Here and now, we're alive somehow Like a wave on the sea Like the wind in the tree We belong to the here and now Yes, I belong to the here and now January 2016, Mark Kaufman
