For the Moment

Let time flow through
each moment of experience;
learning to swim
with every tide, every awareness;
observing, understanding
each moment.

For as a picture once taken
it stands on its own merits
unchanged in its light and shadows:
every experience stored
in the fabric of the greater soul.

It is unwise
to long for a pliable future
unvisualized, unshapen, unknown;
to ponder too deeply
a past whose fire has died;
whose memory no longer strikes
the tender, the bitter chord of life.

Every moment must live unhindered
encouraging and enhancing the next
until all desires blended with faith,
birth harmonious dreams,
raise powerful creations.

Hi, WindWalker.

I felt that this was a wonderful write. I particularly liked this part:

"It is unwise
to long for a pliable future
unvisualized, unshapen, unknown;
to ponder too deeply
a past whose fire has died"

There is a broad hint of the dichotomy of life and its vagaries in this work. Bravo!
