Distant day.
In the realm of dreams I wandered astray,
Lost in the web of a shiny distant day.
I sought my worth in the future's embrace,
As time slipped through leaving nothing to face.
With eager eyes I chased tomorrow's light,
Convinced that success would make bad things right.
But as my hope soared,
Reality unwound,
Leaving me adrift,
A toy lost and found.
In visions of grandeur I built castles in the sky,
Yet neglected the present,
Fully knowing why.
I let my dreams define the essence of me,
Unaware of the price,
The toll,
And its fee.
Days turned to weeks,
Unfolding to years,
And still I clung to long-distant frontiers.
But presence whispered softly a solemn heartfelt plea,
Come back to the now and set yourself free.
So I journeyed home,
Retracing my steps,
Releasing the burden of my future frets.
For in this very moment I found a treasure,
A priceless gift beyond all 3D measure.
The beauty of existence in its simplest form,
A symphony of expression,
Gentle and warm.
In each breath I take a chance to renew,
To embrace the present,
To find what's true.
No longer lost in the mirage of time,
I embraced my worth that I now define.
For my value resides in the here and the now,
In the love I give,
In the seeds I plow.
So let us not be fooled by the future's reflection,
But cherish the nowness and be with introspection.
For life's true worth is not a distant day,
Life's true worth is not a distant goal,
But the journey and the play birthed for your soul.
