the power of now

there are happy days
some are plain sad
few turn out to be eventful
some are just mad

what makes us feel
the way we do..
is it the stars
or last night's stew

there are those who are clearly lost
people theorize
few pretend to have all the answers
people philosophize

what is this mystery
that we call life
an oven where destiny's cooking
or an account of our strife

how we create complexity
how we love to mystify
if we started to live in the 'now'
won't everything just simplify..
