Barbara Gorelick Poet Quatrain

Just Living Inthe Moment---Picture Perfect

I sit watching the sparrows at play,
They flit and flirt, and then fly away.
No trouble rests on their shoulders,
Their concern is just living today.


My thoughts would be like a sparrow’s,
Delighting in the moments accorded.
For tomorrow is always a question,
Today, peace is the trophy awarded.

Stephen Kilmer August 21, 2013 at 7:40 PM Perfect. Well stated. I love the fact that you used sparrows. They are the salt of the earth and bring me joy each day as watch them at my feeders. Living in the moment. If only we could. Kilmer
