In the Moment

When you are in the moment,
You just focus on the now.
You do not question anything – 
The why or when or how.

You fixate on the task at hand
And no one’d ever guess
That other times your life can be
A huge ungainly mess.

But when you are engrossed in something,
Work-wise or for fun,
You’re so absorbed it seems your problems
Never have begun.

It’s wonderful to wallow
In the moment – you’re in clover!
Enjoy it ‘cause before you know it,
Poof! It will be over.
