Live and Love in the Present Moment

When you place your heart upon the world again,

Do not seek the shadows of what you once knew,

For love that mirrors the past will carry the ache

Of battles lost, of hope that didn't break through.

 

Instead, search for the love you've never touched,

The kind that meets you where you stand today,

Not bound by echoes of what couldn't last,

But blossoming in this season, soft and brave.

 

It will come to you in ways unknown before,

Not in the shapes of memories worn and cold,

But in a laugh that lights a different sky,

In hands that hold you like they'll never let go.

 

And when it calls your name, it will not sound

Like voices of the love you used to know.

It will carve new stories, breathe fresh life

Into the corners of your soul left untouched, aglow.

 

It will settle deep within your bones, a fire

That's both unsettling and right, its warmth so near,

A love that feels too vast to fit in words,

A quiet strength that silences your fears.

 

So do not chase the ghosts of what has passed,

Do not seek the comfort of familiar pain.

Let this love be wild, unknown, untamed,

Let it rise to meet you in the sweetest refrain.

 

For what the past could not sustain, let go,

Your future holds the tender light of trust.

Welcome the love that comes anew,

For it is different, and it is just.
