My April Fools Day poem. A poem, not a joke

today
April Fools Day
feel it in my bones
it will be good
as the hours tick away
clear sunny sky
yesterday’s blues gone
the moment is now
everlastingly
we build
towards tomorrow
as we live in the now
our journey in seconds
this then is the gemstone
of existence
now
hallelujah
our passion
our moment in time

So  true! But living in that moment and filling it with what you are passionate about is a whole other thing.  When you do follow your passion, the moments fly by unnoticed.

Moments, hours, days, they all absolutely do zoom by like a fast, runaway train, Lori.

No, I was dead-on serious on that particular April's Fool Day, Margherita. Thank you for commenting.
