All I Have

all i have
is this moment
here
now

in this place
that is my heart
will i unwrap today?
this gift inside my heart?

tomorrow—darkness
yesterday—darkness

HERE NOW LIGHT

who will tend this blossom?
who will till the soil?
the soil in my heart?

ten thousand flowers
ten thousand awakenings
ten thosuand songs

here
now
inside
my tender heart

— Susan J. Preston
