Is Is Is

The Moment

Is Is Is

The Moment

Saw

Heard

Spoke

Bygones

Be bygones

Yourself

To others

To the moment

Non-judgmental

Open

Arms to

The now

Behold

The is

The what

The why

The where

The when

Let go

There

Is no

There

No been

No that

Live not

The next moment

Live not

The past moment

Smile

Take in

The now

The Is

This Is

Breathe in

Breathe out

This...the moment

Chaotic times. People need to take a break from all the insanities that is going on, the hate that is choking whatever civility that’s left in this world, in our country, in our community. Take a moment, breathe in/breathe out, smile.
“Nothing happens next. This is it.” Just being mindful of that Elysian place in our heart where faith, love and hope reside and shared with everyone else with a smile.

Hey Nelson!
I decided to check in and read this lovely poem. Thank you.
Wonderful sentiment and expressed with beautiful simplicity.
Less is more sometimes.
Love, more and more, silent or expressed, more and more, is.

@Kurt: Thank you Kurt. Happy to hear from you. And glad you relate to the sentiment of this poem.

“I specialize in brevity.” ...an expression that stuck in my mind from a character in a story I read long ago. And reinforced with “Less is more” when I studied architecture.

Let’s enjoy the more in the less! The simplicity of sharing to respire.

Thanks again for visiting.

Brod, you have captured how it is to live/survive in our current situation. At times I feel, and I know, the end times are upon us. As you say - breathe in, breathe out. All we can do

@Francis: Thanks Brod for liking. And capturing as well the essence of this poem. As abstract as this poem may seem it simply expresses our humanity ifrom our heart, the celestial virtues of faith, hope and love. Where we are currently it’s best to reach in for that Elysian place in our heart.
