Dune of Life’s Presence

How stifling the present can be
So oft the result of other present moments

Like a chill that comes on a hot day
The stillness of Oming
Ushering in the moment of bliss
Creating its prelude
With the mind and heart
Coming to a standstill
Allowing conscious awareness
To be karma manifest

To chase the present
Is to not allow that moment
To be calm and real
The giving of the air
The breath of now
Enjoining
The wind
The clouds
And the sun
To enjoin

Patience knows not to chase the present
Understanding ones now is
There to confirm purpose
Needs to be our ever-present
Moment of existing
Offering another kernel of life’s sand
To become an inherent part of
Tomorrow’s dune of life

Evergrowing
