Be Right Here
For all the ifs,
for all the buts
that have ever been,
may there be a full stop.
End the cycle of re-imagining
that which didn’t happen,
lets put it all behind
and look on anew
to things that might be.
When the heart longed
for what wasn’t there,
it tore the moment in two
one was real
the other was not.
The basic truth cares
for what actually is, so…
focus being on the spot,
let it deliver
that which can
and that which is.
Whatever went on behind
or, could’ve, should’ve, might’ve
mustn’t spoil the current
of taste, smell or touch
of what’s right there.
Be right here.
