A Fleeting Moment of Gratitude!

A fleeting moment of gratitude

just crept up on me.

No warning, no notice –

it just happened to be!

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.

It feels good in the body,

as my shoulders destress.

I can see a smile being born

in the depth of my chest.

My heart feels bigger,

warmth gushes through my veins.

Mind is at ease, slowly

letting go of its reins.

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.

When I am thankful for the present moment,

it feels right to the core.

There is no yearning for this

or for that anymore.

There is peace in not wanting,

there is calm in that mode.

Ahhhh…the irony of me

wanting to remain in that abode!
