Only today
Only today
original poetryTime's tidewall crashes into
the dramatic locutions of Life.
Someone will become the sad victor
& extinguish the passion of the oaks.
Another will crawl through a red portal,
Their bright explorations only beginning.
That soft filtration that hovers
Over a lotus pond—contentment.
No one remembered to stoke the furnace:
It continued to flare and churn.
A foreigner gesturing love through a mime,
Today is the day that we overcome time.

Beautiful:
"Today is the day that everything breathes.
That soft filtration that hovers
Over a lotus pond—contentment."
There is an Arabic saying: 'contentment is an inexhaustible treasure'.
And, contentment is found in living in the moment, the Eternal Now, which might be the only way to "overcome time' as the poem suggests...
Thank you, for the valuable reminder, @d-pend. Here's to Today (what else do we have)!
Today we are nothing until we are all tomorrow, we decide in the false freedom of mental imprisonment. Your poetry rises and lowers wisdom on the wings of the angels. Thank you for wise poetry @d-pend
In our language is said: Somebody should be down in order for other to be up, somebody has to die, in order somebody to be born...So, much ignorance in this world and to much straightforward thinking...
Today is the day for the one that will understand...
Beatiful

This is amazing buddy I mean the rhyme here is so amazing, it really brought the piece to its peak,
Good poetry begins today and had begun for do long with you.
Thanks my friend @josediccus, I often think a rhyme at the end of a piece brings a nice conclusive note, to sum up the sentiment of the entire poem :-)
You are so right, in this poem I saw a simpler use of English and a steady flow of emotion 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
niceee poetry :)
Today I choose life. Every morning when I wake up I can choose joy, happiness, negativity, pain...
Truth! We are ever choosing...
Today is the only day which is a right time to do.It is a positive approach to think to complete all work at the present time not to delay.
Absolutely beautiful, well said well written😊
A very beautiful poem, each day is unique, tomorrow will be another day but it will be different from this one, that is why it is important to appreciate each moment of our life. Thank you for sharing such wise words.)
Not day like today and no time like now, I feel like I need to focus an get lots of stuff done, thanks for sharing
