BE HERE NOW

When I am struggling with "racing mind,"

I sometimes try to BE HERE NOW.

But still I find myself in THEN,

BEFORE or AFTER, but rarely NOW.

So I walk, and I sing:

The snow is white.

The air is cold.

The ground is hard.

The wind is sharp.

I am HERE

In the NOW

In the winter

In the cold.

I am singing

For my sanity,

For my life,

In the NOW.

Sometimes it helps, and for that, I am grateful!
