Analysis of Here And Now



Not another day
can I waste time and sway
in empty and deceptive ways,
submerged in worldly gain.

For Spirit's call is here and now,
and pressing on
to walk on yet untrodden paths,
to climb, reach our and view
a widening horizon  with a sight renewed,
to fly and soar above the clouds,
to be transformed as butterflies.
