Poems revealed in the silence

Refractions

Be careful what you bring
to this moment.

In our compulsive
self-absorption
and care-less-ness,
we allow our casual moods
to colour—
and even fog—
the purity,
the clarity,
the simplicity
of this
only ever
one
moment.

We have forgotten
how precious it is—
this gift,
this present,
this presence.

There is
no-thing
else—
ever.

Be careful what you bring
to this moment.
