cliché

 

“sunset”

“Be here now”
“Live in the Moment”
it has been said
by so many and so often

that it hardly causes
pause or ponder anymore
just, the quick mental:
“yeah, right, got it”

then,
forgotten.
instantly.

how could these few words
cause real change?
in me. in you. in the world.

what does it take?

what does it take 
for a momentary perception
to change our mind?

it has to push through
the weight
of all our conditions
and conditionings

it has to be seen
for the beauty of itself
for the immensity

how i wish
for you and me
for our world
to truly be
with the never-ending beauty
of the present moment
