What Life Means To Me

What life means to me Beyond all materials and all relations, All damn emotions and scintillations, Is just a moment that can be lived to its full ! Beyond all statuses and highest of education, Knowledge having achieved, or is being applied, Is just that fraction of time, if you could catch it right ! Beyond all belongings be those real or virtual, The heart and the love that beats for or with, Is just that perfectly lived time, In grief or joy sublime ! Every sun sends a ray, Flower the fragrance, Breeze the breaths, Nature vibrant colours, To live each minute, In a perfect flair, Yet wasting time, Thinking of the past, and unknown future, As the Present is gone, Capture this very moment, Live your life and to its full ! Written Feb 9th, 2015 For contest by Jerry T Curtis Awarded 1st place win

I kind of agree with Peter Duggan. Fully present to the present is where the present gets its present name, presently, or so it pregnantly seems to me. Nice flow and grace in your language. Thanks so much for this. Gerald Oliver
