The Best Poem Of Esther Douek

Live In The Moment | Poetry

Today I wanted to write, but nothing was disturbing me enough to take it to pieces

I haven't had a run in with the beauty of the world

I wasn't struck by lightning or mesmerized to the height of creation

Today, I'm content

A feeling I can't explain in words

I want to sit still, silently and smile



Thank my worries for staying quiet

My mind, for having creative control

The sun, for shining at the right temperature

Today, for giving me another fair chance



Take a moment, hold it and open it

Feel it, believe it, try to acknowledge its existence

It's presence, its potential and the positive energy it can accumulate

It's one moment, one second on the clock, a tap of pen on paper,

One dot, a start, one step that leads to another, one heartbeat

One and only one out of a million more to come

It can change your world

Single moments strung together, life on a necklace

Dozens and countless that have no substantial meaning

But they do

They filling spaces, bridging gaps from one good moment to another

So grab that moment that has importance

Hold it and open it

Save it, cherish it and keep it safe for a rainy day

It pays when you need it most

Because when memory finds that moment useful

It will live

Live in the moment
