The Moment

The here and now is where we're at; The Moment is the deal.

The why? or how? or if? or when? not relevant, not real.

When one confronts the issue of "The Purpose of it all,"

what more than any Moment could one sensibly recall

as being both the means and end to pleasure or to pain?

What more or less could one expect to accomplish or to gain?

The Moment passes hastily; so easy to miss

its beauty and wonder, its value and bliss.

And yet, we'll let The Moment all too often pass us by.

We'll sit and wait and watch and wince 'till its too late to try.

Observation? Yes, it's clear enough that all one ought to do,

is recognize and appreciate each Moment's splendid hue.

So why don't you?
