Only Now

Slowly
The night unfolds
A thousand stories
Turning into gold
Breathing
Without a name
Nothing to hold
Nothing to explain

I was looking for answers
In footprints on the shore
Searching old reflections
For something more
But every road behind me
Was fading in the light
Like stars that disappear
At the edge of night

And the world grew quiet
And the noise grew thin
Like a door left open
Letting everything in
And I stopped pretending
There was somewhere to go
And the moment opened
Like a river below

"We must abandon completely the notion of blaming the past for any kind of situation we're in and reverse our thinking and see that the past always flows back from the present."
"That now is the creative point of life."
"You see it's like the idea of forgiving somebody, you change the meaning of the past by doing that."

Only now
Only this moment moving
Only now
Only this light
Only now
No distance left between us
No tomorrow to become
No yesterday undone
Only now

The river keeps flowing
Without a place to go
The sky keeps changing
Without needing to know
And everything I called mine
Dissolves into the view
Leaving only silence
And something true

Every breath returning
Every shadow gone
Every name forgotten
Yet everything lives on

Only now
The breath before the breathing
Only now
The space between the sound
Only now
The endless turning center
Where every path is found
Only now
Only now
The light behind the feeling
Only now
The silence underneath
Only now
The place I've always been
Only now

Now
Now
Now
Only now
