Today
is all I have,
and I can't hold it in my palm.
I have to breath it in
one breath at a time,
hold the taste of it in my mouth,
not mindlessly swallowing,
for it shall never be this day again.
I must ask myself,
What do you hear?
For it is only in the focus of a thing
do you hear,
see, taste,
smell,
touch,
and love.
Today is all I have
and it comes in moments,
seconds,
and heartbeats.

ReplyDeleteI am thinking of the wheel of life, and how we can't stop it. Try as we may. The wheel turns and all if different. But wait, it will turn again, and again it will be different.
