*Practicing my first Villanelle form of poetry.

To live in the moment, one may say is easy to do Not always, it may take some ongoing practice to try The past can take over or worry about future days new To focus on the moment now, helps us through By living fully in this gift of time we have, going by To live in the moment, one may say is easy to do Most of all, just important stopping can be for you To relax, breathe, to look, to take in what you see and why The past can take over or worry about future days new Let the silence be calming as well as the breathing too We have this moment right now, with a choice to apply To live in the moment, one may say is easy to do It starts with a step of awareness and facing what is true Then moving with the moments, precious gifts to untie The past can take over or worry about future days new This helps us have less regret, as the days can be few We can make the best of today, with each blink of an eye To live in the moment, one may say is easy to do The past can take over or worry about future days new Heidi Sands 8/8/17
