Awaken

A friend of mine sent me some music they wrote on a mountaintop in the early morning. Here’s what it said to me.

Awaken!
The day is before you
Barest hints of what is to come
Yet over the horizon

Awaken!
The years beckon
To a new creation
Of years before you
Of years to come

Awaken!
Don’t think
Now is now
There is no time like the present
There is no time but the present

Awaken!
Be present to the moment
Be present to yourself
Be the present to yourself

Awaken!
