Find beauty
allow it to enter
through your eyes
into your heart, your life, your brain. . .
Notice strength
in or outside of you
observe its workings,
short term, or cyclical
or through the ages–
learn what you can
from that,
and ply it in
to your muscles,
your inner feelings,
and the swirl of thinkings
that you think.
Notice any benefit to you. . .
if none is readily apparent,
sit with yourself,
and the space near that surrounds you–
perhaps some air to breathe,
body to be in,
and if you’re lucky,
clean fresh water there
that you can drink.
You could be anywhere. . .
but since you’re here,
it is the only place,
for now,
that heaven or hell
or anything else
can possibly be for you. . .
and would it not then be a shame
if you never ever knew,
that something wondrous came to bless you. . .
For in the flashing of the moment,
it came to show itself,
whilst you, unwatchful
did opt
to blink.
