Loving Life Poem by Ruta Mohapatra
Loving Life
Now, at this moment
I am alive
Sitting at a wooden desk
Dressed to my satisfaction
Have had food and water
Penning my thoughts in a poem
Is not that great?
I was alright a moment ago too
I cannot say about the coming moment
Or the moment after that
Does that matter?
At some moment in the coming chain of moments
Something may happen to me
But I am thankful for the present moment
When exactly did I learn
To live in a moment?
Can't say
Years back I was a bundle of tension
Regretting the years past
Terrified about the future
Somewhere along the way it all changed
Magnificent! I like the lucid poetic expression.5 stars and to my favourite! !
A momentous change! It is very difficult to learn to live in the present! The past and future always encroaching on our thoughts. If we are not careful, all our moments are lost. The last stanza is beautiful. I am also waiting for this change, but no better time than in this present moment.
When we can leave the past behind and not worry about the future, life becomes more delightful. A poem full of wisdom for us all. thanks Ruta. 10

Nice poem. Tides and tribulations in life are the best teachers. Nothing could be better than living in the present moment. Thanks.
