For the Moment

For the moment, we pause needless striving
That dear friends, includes habit of thinking
Shedding fears and guilt needing atonement 
Rekindling instead, innate bliss quotient
Shifting into joy stream, celebrating 

Life is fleeting, yet struggle unending
Oh hermit, live fully, time’s-a-wasting 
Discard the ego urge for attainment 
For the moment

Pause to smell the roses, soul uplifting
Smile at the stranger, our hearts expanding
Shift into staid stillness, in contentment 
Bliss within renews, without abatement 
Is-ness of being-ness scintillating 
For the moment
