Today Is Important

Trust the butterfly that
flutters in your mind,
Fix your violin
with knife, glue, and string,
Go fishing in a pond
that is filled with stars,
Cleave the water below
to keep a balance,
Upgrade your patience
so that you absorb higher intelligence,
Name the lights
that shine in your constellation,
Today is important,
Memories may mean nothing.

  1. Beautiful. Memories will fade away- some names will be written by us on stone that they stay, some will be written on sands and they will be washed away.All a part of soul progression isnt it.Everything adds upto making us so us. Seasons greetings to you and happiness. :)

  10. Except for the last line, this is brilliant. Artistically, even the last line is brilliant!
    A great New Year to you and yours.

  11. Spectacular poem, and personally meaningful for me because I bought a violin after taking an adult workshop some years back, never took the lessons I planned on, and have decided this is the year to free it from its case. Beyond the violin imagery, the whole of this work really is wonderful.
