Just Livin'

Seen a lot of people
and things
come and go.
Can't do much
about it though.

Live for today,
that's all there is.
What's past is past,
no clue to
what the future is.

We can dream, and hope,
manage some minutiae
within our scope,
as tomorrows get fewer
and memories
fill the ledger.
Projections give way
to recollection. IF
you need to go there.
Better if you don't.

Today a light rain
for my Cosmos.
Not the BIG one,
the little purple and pink type
springing from my seed bed.
And I'm here
in this precious moment.
The only time,
heartbeat to heartbeat
that truly exists.
How 'bout you?
