Now
I wish love conquered
over fear more often—
I try to remember
that life is full of what-ifs
but the definites are here
with us—awaiting
embrace—
here
in the present.
We can face these fears
or let them devour what
we treasure most.
And we can never love
completely till we focus
on what we have and
WHO we have…
now—
not then,
nor soon.
