.13.. fleeting moments

04/03/02



is it unlucky

when i try to reach my goals

and do not

or is this a matter of circumstance



surely you know it is

neither of these

it is all up to you



love a person, love life

love yourself

what you do, all of these

are the same

they all come from you

it's all up to you



the fleeting moments

in your grasp

let them fly with such joy

from within you, this is you

part of you, all of you



living now, for today

reject them -- you die

in every instance

not demanding

not leaving

for such would reject

what you love



not running away

but surrounding your life

and your heart with your loves

with your very own breath



let this be true

for every moment

this is how it is

for every fleeting

savoring, loving

heartbeat of your life
