"Now"

What is now, what is then?
What is darkness, when is when?
What are the lies that lie within?
What is this moment but a sin?

Yet another to be thought,
Another war yet to be fought,
Another journey yet to take,
Inside the light yet to awake.

Don't you feel a moment pause?
Slight distress but mostly flaws,
In what is you, the way you think,
How life is seen within a blink.

Things like these remind us how,
Not a moment feels like now,
Not a soul takes time to think,
How moments pass within a wink.

So less time we seem to have,
No time to cry no time to laugh.
As out moments pass right by,
It seems we only have time to die.

But just as we get the rotten thought,
We think of the moments that are not,
Of only no's that came to been,
Of only those who thought to sin.

Yet when they tried they found,
A way to leave them spellbound,
The spells they cast on the place,
On a grateful and worthy spirited race.

So now that I've told you how,
Every moment will be now,
Every thought that lies within.
Is much more than just a sin.
