Now and Then

There has never been a time
when I was more at peace 
than I am now.

There has never been a time 
when I realised that then
would lead to now.

There has never been a time 
when I understood more of me,
both then, and now.

There has never been a time
when accumulated regrets eclipsed
the joy of now.

There has never been a time
when my ignorance was greater,
but mattered less than now.

There has never been a time
when global stupidity endangered us 
more than now.

There has never been a time
when yesterday and tomorrow
mattered more than now.

There has never been a time
when we needed love and peace
more than Now.
