Not living for the moment makes one lazy

The future is uncertain and hazy

Reverence for this instant is prayer

That strips the mind of its last layer

The one seeking tomorrow

Is the last to be in the know

Of the treasure that just went by

Distractions blind, the moment isn’t sly

This moment is the only flow

Joining it, awareness begins to grow

Time will be forced to offer its respect

And will never return to collect

The great communion that’s happening

It’s in the moment, it’s so inviting

The body and mind may prefer to sleep

While the moment takes awareness deep
