Dawn in Bali

The Night Ride To Sunrise

The night ride to sunrise

It happens in the dark

When sleep gives way to sunlight

And we wake just like the lark

To face another journey

Into the coming day

When who knows what adventures

Life will send our way

But what is really certain

Is everything will change

For all the time we are sleeping

The world it rearranged

Each second in its motion

Is nothing like before

Although sometimes we miss it

While rushing out the door

But maybe in a daydream

We will come to see

That we are mere spectators

In a world that’s meant to be.

The Now

Deep within my being

I truly long for here

Between the thoughts of bygone days

And a future so unclear

For whose to say tomorrow

will not leave me sad

And longing for my yesterdays

when life it made me glad

But change so soon will happen

and there’s nothing I can do

Except adapt and flourish

as each day comes to view

Like trees that bend in stormy winds

I must do the same

While counting all my blessing

in my moments that remain

So the now is so important

that at last I really see

I’ve been given treasures

that just belong to me.

Thought to Ponder – Fear keeps us focused on the past or worried about the future. If we can acknowledge our fear, we can realize that right now we are okay. Right now, today, we are still alive, and our bodies are working marvelously. Our eyes can still see the beautiful sky. Our ears can still hear the voices of our loved ones.- Thich Nhat Hanh.
