If only I looked at now.

If I looked, only, at now.

Now?

  This moment is my life.

But as I sit and reflect 

In comes regret.

Why?

What is it about “what could have been been”?

Or "might be"?

As I sit and reflect

In comes regret

And doubt……………………………………..

Why rehearse the past

And create what should have been.

It’s gone, the past, gone 

            Not forgotten……Just gone.

Now is where I live.

As I sit and reflect 

Enjoy, don’t regret.

The future is yet to emerge

Unknown at first, but ….

But what of now?  

What do I observe?

Not the past.

Not the future.

Just now, here, at this moment.

What do I see as I sit and reflect?

I neglected 

To observe

To make sense

To know what it is that I do

When I do what I do.

Don’t just sit and reflect

Experience, observe , then reflect

And make sense of now.

Live…………..My life is this moment.
