a moment lost
life taken
world of pain
heart broken
the blink of an eye as a moment passes
a missed decision
fear holding us back from a new way forward
an assumption that there is forever ahead of us
naivety that today is the first day of so many more
life is a labyrinth as we weave our way through an unknown path
no sense of what went before, no hint of what lies ahead
rather, an uncertain step forward, trusting, willing our way to safety, love, forever
because we have ‘in a minute’, ‘this afternoon’, ‘tomorrow’, ‘next year’, ‘when I have more time’
'another moment'
how would it be if we simply had now
what would change if our next tentative step trod firmly in a direction of intent
ambition, fulfilment of dreams, embracing all that is
living, loving with every depth of our being
flying freely, wings outstretched, soaring high, limitless
a life without regrets
a life filled with the richness of being…here…fully present
