Dr.Ram Mehta Poet Free verse

In the Moment

At times we neglect the beauty
of the bareness or the roots
because we want fragrance of the
flowers or taste the first fruits.
But what is important is THE MOMENT
There is only one heaven 
And it lives here in THE MOMENT only.
No regret of the past or worry of the future
It is in this power of the moment
That all our life begins.
The only place we can change
The state we are in.
It starts from within
By living this moment
Where life always begins.
Sometimes we miss the silence
that says more than any words
because we want to hear the
noise that leaves our senses blurred.
So catch and kiss this moment,
it will never come again.

Please see Rhonda's comment to me - such a sad state of affairs for someone to stoop so low as to steal another person's poems and claim it as their own:-( Hugs jan xxx
