Here and Now

This peaceful day has arrived upon my windowsill.

as the sun rises on its horizon,

while every joy, tear and fear

passes my awareness begging for attention.

I will invite them all into my heart

breathe them in with a longer exhale,

to be void of that pain they want to instill,

detaching from both good and bad.

Our shadows then emerge,

followed by chagrin

to whisper hello with a smirk

knowing of their impermanence.

Remain thankful for this present moment,

and grateful for whatever unfolds

right now, and on that other side

as healing renewal begs to find its place.
