In the Heart of the Moment
...I think, therefore I am not here... thich nhat hanh
In the Heart of the Moment
...it is all...
It is
Beyond me
I am leaving
Leaving all the
Manifestations of life
The engagement
Of my material self
With the universe
With the eden garden
This lifetime
Beyond me
it is
A life passing
No impact on the world
Not in any sense
Venerable
One of many
Majestic waves
Breaking in
Piping surfing in
To the shore
Foam and all
And
Feathering out
With the sun
The purveyor of life
A life passing
Yet
Like the wave
At the very
Heart of the moment
I feel I had just
Been born
Again
Let out anew
To the open sea
Scream again
Again gentlest
Smiles
I felt once more
Nourishing love
Welcoming waves of
Caring emotions
My loving mother’s
Warmest
Yet
Dreamers
Poets
And seers alike
Life is
Like a candle
Said
One moment lit
Next bedim
Slowly gets shorter
Flickers
Dies out
But the energy
It gave
The light
It glowed
Reborn
Continued to grow
Expanded stronger
More brilliant than
Any seen
And had seen by any
Dreamers
You pivot
From material worldly
Corporeal appetites
Reflect the eden
The earth garden
Your roots
Your family
Multiple branches
Multiple fruits
A tree of life
Thriving
Seeds regeneration
Flourishing
A bridge
Earth to heaven
Mortality
Into
Immortality
You pivot
You breathe in
Sheltered in your heart
You breathe out
Life is
All it is
It Is all
In the moment
Life is

Ah life...the peace, the quiet, the turbulence, trials and tribulations, successes, failures and knowledge, wisdom and calmness, healing. And one who overcomes is always rewarded a sacred mesmerizing aura of acceptance, kindness, love and mindfulness.
