Forever and this moment are virtually unknown, but today is here. Live it, love it, enjoy it. Tomorrow may never come. We need not just pass the time of day, but try to accomplish something. Great poem!

So true that this moment is all we have. Your 3-6-9 suite is beautifully presented, and gives much cause to ponder.

Love the photo. Are you finishing up with all your paperwork and grading?

Beautiful thoughts that transcend into wisdom. Much to
be gained by finding solace in the moment. Your poem offers
peace, calmness and an awareness of being.
Your poem teaches that the future is veiled by mists of
mystery and uncertainty. Enjoy the Blessings of today.
Peace,
Richie

I like the grounding aspect of this poem, and I like the inclusion of how tomorrow is a vision unattained and sometimes possessing the feeling of being elusive. The idea that one can be proved alive through warm touches is interesting.

This work has reached the exceptional level

Deeply thoughtful, philosophical poem, full of self-awareness and reflection. In our best moments, I think most of us have such revelations of consciousness, but the majority of people never express it, at least not in writing. I enjoyed your imagery and choice of words, which, together, form eloquent poetry in free verse. Your colors and image make a delightful presentation of this 3-6-9 offering.

Your 3 6 9 poem is excellent in all respects You chose strong, vivid words to convey a strong message about how precious RIGHT NOW is. I especially like the personification of this moment.

To live in the moment, to be able to say: " ... Yes I am here ..." is indeed a powerful message. This is a well written poem with a profound message. Thank you for sharing and good fortune in the contest - Jerry

Beautiful and I like the progression from Forever to a more definite Tomorrow and finally, to the very tangible present moment in the last stanza. Great to remember all the blessings of being alive. Best wishes in the contest!

We need uplifting poems of light and goodness in these troublesome days. Sometimes it all comes from our interior life. This poem here reminded me to breath, smile, and be appreciative for another day.
