The last couple of weeks I had the feeling that I was not living in the present. I was either busy thinking about the past, the good and bad memories I had made, or worried about what the future would bring. I was missing my present life because of this. I was missing the moments I was making now. Thinking of the past is not a bad thing because it can help with making the right decisions in the present, but constantly staying in the past is not healthy. The future is unknown, I cannot determine what will happen, but I can make the best decisions in the present to hopefully influence my future. Therefore, the present is key. This made me think and inspired me to write about it. Here it goes…
The Present
I purposely open the door
To hear your beautiful sound
Transported to a far away shore
Walking through a sandy ground
–
The light sound becoming stronger
While the breeze picks up too
I am imagining no longer
A beautiful shores view
–
I welcome in the earthy scent
Musky yet calm and full of peace
I choose to live in the present
And not in a world of caprice
–
So I sit here until it stops to rain
Having enjoyed the beautiful sound
Then I close the door again
And I’m more happy all around
