A fleeting moment of gratitude
just crept up on me.
No warning, no notice –
it just happened to be!
Â
Without any reason or trigger,
I am in midst of it’s grace.
Now that I am held by it,
I don’t want to lose this embrace.
Â
It feels good in the body,
as my shoulders destress.
I can see a smile being born
in the depth of my chest.
Â
My heart feels bigger,
warmth gushes through my veins.
Mind is at ease, slowly
letting go of its reins.
Â
What am I grateful for?
Is it health? Is it wealth? Is it love or success?
But none of these are constants,
they are just part of the process.
Â
When I am thankful for the present moment,
it feels right to the core.
There is no yearning for this
or for that anymore.
Â
There is peace in not wanting,
there is calm in that mode.
Ahhhh…the irony of me
wanting to remain in that abode!
