Be in the moment
Weathered grayness of the old board fence
contrasting with the deep green of the grass.
Dappled sunlight dancing through the trees,
triggering memories from my past.
All the joy, pain and glory earned
in the days I lived before
can not add to this moment
because now is so much more.
Now is all there really is,
yesterdays gone and tomorrow is not here.
Enjoy every life enriching moment,
immerse yourself without fear.
Nurture a thick cushion of living
about your grateful soul.
Allow the selfless act of giving
be today's ultimate goal.
contrasting with the deep green of the grass.
Dappled sunlight dancing through the trees,
triggering memories from my past.
All the joy, pain and glory earned
in the days I lived before
can not add to this moment
because now is so much more.
Now is all there really is,
yesterdays gone and tomorrow is not here.
Enjoy every life enriching moment,
immerse yourself without fear.
Nurture a thick cushion of living
about your grateful soul.
Allow the selfless act of giving
be today's ultimate goal.
This Poems Story
Sitting in the backyard one beautiful spring morning pondering all sorts of existential concerns when the thought occurred to me how sometimes we cheat ourselves of what is going on while we are deep in our heads.
