all in the moment

 


all the insufficient
yesterday's

the slights

       the pain

         the wounds

let it all be

let the sleeping
dog of the past
lie still

the past happened

  it will always have happened

   and it will never not have happened

no genies magic
lamp can change
that fact

the past is unalterable
like the chance of finding
one rotten apple in a
beautiful orchard

instead

focus on this single
moment

you

me

sitting across from
each other

coffee cups in
hand

seeing each
other

hearing each
other

in this single
moment

look around
you

this is all that is
real

now

this wonder of
life

in every
breath

every
heartbeat
