Being

Living in the now

Being is the essence
That magnifies my day
The extent of my existence
Even when far away.

Being is a blessing
Living in the now
No thoughts of tomorrow
Nor asking why or how.

Here for just a minute
Here for a mere hour
Growing in reality
Like a garden flower.

Life is actuality
The moment being here
The reason for the existence
Becomes crystal clear.

When I wake I look around
Walk the talk and then transpire
And embrace the elements
Earth, water, wind, and fire.

I drift into another space
Draw more breath without fear
Then in the morning, I’ll awake
And reappear.

Time’s a sign of passing
Moments melt in time
A rhythm of the living
And tapestry of rhyme.
