Live Your Moments

Moments of peace stolen from a day full of chaos..

Without a deadline hanging over, spreading huge it's jaws..

No beeps of the smartphone..

Noise of people chattering away..

No horns, alarms or sirens..

Just time slowly ticking away..

Birds chirping in their fine short tweets..

Welcoming dawn of the day...

Or ancients anecdotes of old souls..

About how their hair went gray..

Swing of a butterfly over a flower newly born..

Or a group of villages carrying home the day's stack of hay..

No twisted broken thoughts, cut short in between..

Endless checklists, oh, avoid them if you may..

Let your soul breathe in life, as it truly is..

Have your heart washed in waves that run along the bay..

Choose your moments, the kind you want and open your heart to it..

For a handful of them are much more worth than days..

That are just counted away..
