RIGHT HERE IN TIME

I rush to the future
Left alone purpose and cause
And turn to the past
With misty eyes and I remember

What I love is never here and now
It’s always about then and when
Why can’t I just sit down wherever?
Just appreciate this place in time?

To gaze into the present
Listening to the bluebells chime
With a scent of freshly cut grass
Beneath a sky in magenta and brass
With misty eyes and I remember
You, and this, right here in time

I love the Zen feel to this poem. Living and loving ~ in the here and now.

Love & Light,

"I'll be happy when..."

I love the way your bluebells chime in the here and now. I always knew they could chime but that's the first time I ever heard them.

What a beautiful and yet sad poem. It is visually beautiful and yet emotionally sad because you have to look back and remember what it was that caused you pain. May you soon find peace and comfort and be able to move on.

Androgynous, I enjoyed your poem.  You are very wise to realise that you are only looking for your happy moments in the past and the future.  Many people don't realise that and they lose so much.

You are even wiser to realise that you want to capture them in the present.  It seems to me that although you want to do that, you believe that it can't be done.  It can.  It isn't always easy to do so, but once you have started, it gets a little easier and you just have to keep working at it.  The following "Recipe for Happiness" and "Snow Moment" may help you to get started:

Once you can see your happiness in the present with regard to things, you will find it easier to do it with people.  Hope this will help a little.
