"Ordinary Moments"

 

The mind is powerful force...

It can enslave us, or it can empower us...

Our choice is to choose wisely as we navigate life forward...

Moments can linger, then flee...

By little pieces slipping away, rather than all at once

Slowly and quietly they leave us so we don't notice

Not until we look around and realize that its time we should gather up what is left

Do we pretend to be whole?

Are we actually incomplete?

All of our bodies contain storms that we can never seem to translate into words

Sometimes small things undo us...

A sound...

A look...

Or even a memory out of place...

To that point in time where you wonder

Are you simply surviving or refusing to let go?

Yet, there is a thin thread there

Linking all of life's existence together

Because we are the change always happening

One day...

Last week...

Or tomorrow...

Is today the day you do something for the last time without realizing it?

Life has its direction

Pulling and pushing us along

You never know which memories to keep

Or which time of day could be the last...

It just may feel like any other

Until it isn't...

So be where your feet are

Say what you mean

Do right by you

Feel it fully...

Because the ordinary moments can mean everything

And only be just ordinary, until they are gone.
