It

I wish to be here In the now of it The wow of it The holy cow of it Living the moment Feeling the pop and glow of it Instead of the I don't know of it Worrying about the what went wrong of it and why all the pieces don't completely fit To afraid to make the next move So on my proverbial ass I sit Yesterday swallows up the now of it Wishing and wondering how to edit it Leaving me feeling like such a twit Wearing old garments That never fit Is there I ask any sense to it This worrying and worrying Always lured into my mental pit The shadows that keep me from enjoying it Stuck back at beginnings I wish and I wish that my mind would quit Sadly my light isn't on it was never lit! I realize That's not where I want to be It's here and now I wish to be There is so much beauty to see Worry and regret are the enemy So I count each and every breath Pause then breathe one two three Mind fully cleared Sitting under a tree Sky blue finally mind emptied Lock opened I am finally freed Enjoying it Being in it Feeling the wow of it The holy cow of it Feeling the glow and pop of it So glad and thankful To be in the middle and now of it I now know it is a perfect fit

Sometimes one could be so "locked" in from life's perils, that with a "finally emptied mind" which opens to freedom ,there could certainly be a "perfect fit". From personal experiences, one could identify with the above nuances about the rhythm of life along the journey. Good write.Very Rhythmic of IT.

Cussing words - my first thought isn't a bit clear, I don't even know what it means! Just trying to say I love your poem ... CayCay
