Living in the moment...

I paused a moment and thought of yesterday;

Wondering how to recapture time past

And what of tomorrw, of that time that may

Left unaware it's time that comes too fast.

No, my focus must be on this my time today

For it is in the now that I can only know

This is the time to be aware, time to work, and to play

Finding seeds of happiness and taking time to sow.

Ages past and those to come spiraling through Time's vortex

"What will be" fast becoming "that which has been"

And without care to be aware it won't register in our cortex

And we will wonder how life passed us by, never to have again.

Learn to stop, or at least slow down your ride

For happiness can only be found in that time we call Today

And most of all take time to learn the art we call "abide"

And learn to rest, and to sing, and learn to dance, and play
