Still yourself each morning – v2

A moment of importance,
centering in your spirit,
being at peace to awaken,
beauty all around you,
A new day just begun…
 
Be at peace within yourself,
within your spirit, your body,
empty yourself of everything,
still yourself each morning,
Be at peace, at rest…
 
Let your heart be at peace,
empty your mind of chaos,
breathe in the morning,
still yourself in this peace
That is beyond all understanding…

We must live life in the present

We must live life in the present,
Walking the steps right before us,
We must strive ever forward,
we must not look back…
 
Our past may inform us on our journey,
but we cannot change our history,
we must move forward in this present,
ever forward, with every step…
 
We must live life in the present,
the days and minutes before us,
we must focus on each day,
to sense joy in each moment…

Nature does not hurry – v2

Nature does not hurry,
there is a rhythm in the turning,
in the seasons, in each day,
like a new leaf unfurling…
 
We run around, frenetic,
manic in our actions,
thinking the world revolved,
around our human condition…
 
Nature does not hurry,
each moment, each second,
life is present moving,
at a measured pace…
 
We are mortal, surely,
our deaths are preordained,
but we can have joy in each moment,
if we would cherish each day…
 
Nature does not hurry,
yet everything is accomplished,
cycles set in motion, balanced,
the earth dancing in equilibrium…

I release my treasure – v4

I let go of what I treasure,
for change is now upon me,
I open my eyes to this present,
to the new path beneath my feet…
 
I release my treasure,
my sorrow, my worry, my fear,
that which I have held onto,
what I do not let go…
 
I let go of what I treasure,
that which I strive after,
I release my pain, my anguish,
all that gets in the way…
 
I release my treasure,
because everything changes,
we only have today, this day,
this moment, this life…
 
I let go of what I treasure,
the things that bind me,
life is in living, striving,
starting again, right now…
