The next best thing

THE NEXT BEST THING

Has the best story been read; the best song now been played?

Has the best poem been written; the best meal now been made?

Has our best moment already gone; our best times now the past?

Is the best love we ever felt, the best we'll ever have?

Is now our only thought, or is yesterday our mind?

Are we all creating or just stuck on the rewind?

Is the best of us the festival of everything that's gone,

Or do we still have something new to build this truth upon?

Maybe you've a favourite song, you know you're favourite scent,

You can visualise your future, you're clear on your intent,

But maybe all those definites are blocking you from truth,

For maybe all your favourites are still reaching out for you.

So listen to your favourite song, but open up to new,

Appreciate each book you read but read another too,

For we are the observers, but creators deep within -

Here to see the 'all before' then give the gift we bring.

Today might be that moment you remember life can change -

Today might be the day that you remember love again.

Today might hold that something that makes your spark ignite -

Today might be that moment; the biggest of your life.

Keep those wheels churning, let those questions play -

Find the new in moments; don't live on the replay,

Then feel the gift of difference that you were here to make,

For only when you find it can you then create that change.

Don't think your life is over, there's so much more in you.

Don't think that you have done your bit, you've nothing more to do,

For everyone is special, each one a part to play;

You are part of everything if you feel truth today.

So open up those doors, believe there's more to see,

Let your now be always filled with possibility.

Yesterday was wonderful, but given space to breathe,

You can make tomorrow be the best there's ever been.
