Fauxcroft Wade Poet Free verse

Living In the Moment

I write each poem in each moment

Not knowing where each word will lead,

I focus on my present awareness

And sometimes the words they bleed from me,

I do not sit down to write at prearranged times

My poems happen spontaneously,

I write them in each unique moment

As the thoughts they come into being

And this inspires and lights up my days

It often awakens me,

When I find my self in mindless routine

Or in the throes of drudgery,

It's as if the words I write down

Create themselves automatically,

It's like the thoughts that come within that moment

Are there to enlighten me

And it reminds me that in each moment

The importance of synchronicity

And how if we focus on each moment,

We discover infinite opportunities

And I love that is sets my soul free.

Shirley Rebstock June 18, 2018 at 5:33 PM I love this. Sometimes, I wonder where my words have come from when I write. Half the time, after they are written, I remember the subject, but not the words expressed in a moment in time. Congratulations on your win.

Gershon Wolf June 18, 2018 at 9:44 AM Wow! A wonderful winner, Fauxcroft, one that truly resonates with me. They say that great writing/great ideas is that/are those which, when read, strike the reader this way: "Now, that's exactly how I feel. He wrote precisely what I was thinking." … And that's the mantra I uttered to myself upon reading this remarkable poem. Congrats on your first-place trophy! ~ Gershon Fauxcroft Wade June 18, 2018 at 10:32 AM WOW! Wonderful praise indeed. I do try so hard to resonate with people and to keep what I write real. I am humbled by your kind words and very much appreciate your comments. Faux

Caren Krutsinger June 8, 2018 at 9:38 AM Yes, it is wonderful when the words flow like a bleed; often they do not and that is the time we should stop. Fauxcroft Wade June 8, 2018 at 9:58 AM Thank you very much for reading and appreciating
