The only way there is here
Time is a gift that exists in the present
*Listen to this poem on Spotify or watch it on YouTube:
~~~
when time was a gift
down the shore i’d stroll
admiring shells and tossing rocks
watching them ricochet and roll
feeling the sand beneath my feet
and the sea between my toes
every moment another miracle
enjoying life as nature flows
i’d find myself lost in a forest
then lose myself found in a creek
hear a million different words
without anyone needing to speak
abundance in the sea and sky
and on this furry earth
feeling the sun warm my soul
the key to knowing worth
time to bask
time to ponder
time for emptiness
time to wander
enjoying time
then something changed
freedom lost
life rearranged
from a bountiful gift
to a stingy prize
time slipped away
my own demise
keeping score
to get there fast
i focused on the future
and lamented the past
ignoring my senses
succumbing to fear
i missed out on life
as i missed being here
i thought that i was getting somewhere
the illusion of forward motion
but we are waves amidst infinite waves
fragments reuniting with one vast ocean
but now in this moment i can be here
no longer let time slip away
be exactly where i am meant to be
oh i won’t waste another day.
so here i am awake again
time doesn’t go round and round
all of the answers were here all along
simply waiting to be found
it’s only here there is no there
i release the suffering and the sorrow
for time lost today is time lost forever
disappearing into dust tomorrow
~~~
Enjoy the journey.
