Find Your Moments
Jupiter hangs on gossamer string
While laughter fills the cooling air
Each firefly a chance to hold close
That amazing thing called life
The scent of wild-flowers steal
Any thoughts of worry or woe
Sun hides below the horizon
Its work being done for the day
Thoughts may turn, as thoughts do
To what tomorrow may hold
Yet this very moment begs
That you live it to the fullest
Nothing waits in the wings
More important than right now
This brief interlude in time
Must be born in depth and soul
Exhale the day and calm your mind
Let nothing come to bear
Just each breath drawn deeply in
Your connection to the now
Little moments are all we have
Strung together like pearls
Each a beautiful, wonderous thing
If you can find the stillness within

So many (including me!) are so busy living in the past or trying to sculpt our future that we seldom take time to stop and enjoy the splendor of a single moment in the present! Well written reminder!
Thank you, sis! We learn early on to keep our eyes up and watch where we are going, but are never taught to look down for a moment and see what we are standing on.
such a beautiful vision of calm and relaxation
Thanks, Beth! In our hectic lives, a little stillness never hurts.
It’s imperative
Yes, I quite agree with you my friend, each moment is what life is made of. Wonderful thoughts and great writing Brad, all the best!
Thank you, my friend!
My pleasure Brad
Oh, wow. I needed this today. I’ve been struggling with feeling lost & wondering what my purpose. I want to carefully select a career path that ensures my financial well being after my husband is gone, etc.. It’s hard not to get caught up in all of that, but you’re right, what’s important is now. I’ve been holding onto those little things that bring me joy and remind me to be in the now. This poem, is now one of them. Thank you, Brad! 😘
I am so glad I can bring you a moment of pause in all that is going for you. Stay centered, stay focused on what is important, stay strong, and stay well! Love to you both!
beautiful words, Brad, about enjoying the moment…
Thanks, Jim!
So beautifully serene, and with an important message 💖
Thank you Jupiter!
