The Present
20.01.2022
I get easily lost in the search for grandeur
and thinking how I’ll enjoy
all the good things that come with it.
In doing so, I fail at what I am doing.
Momentarily I’m not there,
therefore I am not able to give all that
I can.
To strive for more one must strive for less.
To present himself fully at each coming moment,
willing and able to give all that he must
to win the second.
Under the lamp I sit down and write
At the table I eat
Do what you do, and just that.
I know that’s the way,
yet when I thought of this
I was listening to music,
in the shower,
while brushing my teeth.
And I went in and out of it
about 10 times
before I had dried myself
and sat down to write.
How can one control his focus,
to let it run wild in the jungle
and sit and admire the sunrise in the dessert,
to fly above the trees with ease, not needing to step in,
and to run towards the sunset,
in an effort to prevent the sun from burying its self,
tick
eat
tock
write
tick
study
tock
talk
tick
play
tock
train
(Silence)
Be.
