Everything is waiting for you

Everything 
Everything
O everything is waiting for you.
David White said.
But lost is me 
In meaningless many.

All existence is waiting for me
But what if all where and nowhere I be?
Lost in waiting, waiting on the bank:
A boat will come from the opposite bank
And I’ll reach where I want to.

Instead of such vain wish
And prayer,
Waiting, waiting, waiting
Till late evening of life,
Why don’t I search
And collect sea shells,
Why not I build castles in sand,
Listen to the songs of sea birds,
Talk to the sun till it sets,
Enjoy Nature’s painting in the sky,
And do whatso I intend
To do with all of me present?

All I need to learn and do is:
Snap out from yesterday,
Snap out from tomorrow,
Log in now of today.

Life is not an old habit.
It’s all new every moment
Wherein a possibility 
Might be waiting to unfold.
If and only if 
I’m there to welcome it all alive.
