Peace
Pause
Take photos if you want, but
Pause
To experience
Peace
Don't let your vision cloud
What you experience
Don't obsess over what's better
Enjoyed
Run all the miles, but
Eat all the ice cream
Life, long or short
Is for
Living
Gaze at mansions
Long for a boat
But don't let desire
For a life you don't have
Rob you of the
Treasure
That is
Living
Whether another century
You will see
Or just one more day
Don't let any desires,
Fears, anxieties
Get in the way
Of savoring each moment
Searching for good
Delighting in life
Otherwise known as truly, truly
Living.
