Balanced on the Moment Called Now

Balanced on the Moment Called Now

Inconstancy is permanent

Impermanence is the Law

Often I think the Divine learns

As we learn from our mistakes

The future comes

With every inhale

I release the past

With each exhale

Towers destroyed

Offer fresh earth for growth

The Lord of Change

Dances on my grave

Bids me party on

Throughout eternity

Restless for the future

Baby steps challenge my patience

Yet without them

I would fall

Stagnation an illusion

Clinging to what was is folly

Past and future balanced

On the moment called Now

Even the earth

Revolves consistently

Always in motion

Holding us where we stand

Existence cannot occur 

Without motion

Clouds float by gracefully

Exciting our imaginations 

Along their path

Guiding our change is a challenge

Always the earthquakes

Always the tornados

Always clinging to the known

Afraid of what will be

Tears of regret

Tears of uncertainty

Only the now is known

Always new

Always different

Always a surprise

Now will never come again

Embrace it as it passes

Then bid it a fond farewell

We cannot hitch an anchor

To a comet

Wasted energy to try

 

No one plans the future

Attempts are futile at best

The air is fresh

The dust is cleared away

My heart opens to what comes

Ready or not
