LIVING IN TODAY

If you have the courage and resilience
To witness in powerless silence
That the seasons change..
Relics wither.
People die…
Safety and security fail…
Love fades…

And yet continue to breathe, live and love…..
You will know nirvana
In the garb of this perishing body
And amidst the desert of a melancholy impermanence,
You will become a tender little blossomed flower
That lives only in today!
