I see you in front of me

Surrender to the Now

When I surrender to the Now what do I see?

I see the sun’s rays dancing on the long grass reeds
I see the palm trees swaying from side to side
I see birds and butterflies flying by

When I surrender to the Now what do I see
I see YOU in front of me

When I surrender to the Now what do I hear?

I hear the rustle of the leaves as they touch side to side
I hear the buzz of the hummingbird’s wings
I hear the song of the birds as they sing

When I surrender to the Now what do I hear
I hear YOU in front of me

When I surrender to the Now what do I feel?

I feel the mist of the morning mountain dew touch my skin
I feel the breeze of the ocean’s salty air blow my hair
I feel the sun as it touches my cheek with a smile

When I surrender to the Now what do I feel
I feel your presence in front of me now

Let’s surrender to the Now
This is where life truly lives
