Bathing in the moment, <br />Of this joy descending. <br />Who knew? <br />I do. <br />Did you? <br />I've got it and it's wonderful. <br /> <br />Some choose mental modes. <br />Unsure which way, <br />Their lives for them goes. <br />I'm through with that. <br />Got nonsense for this moment, <br />Off my back! <br /> <br />Whatever this is... <br />I want it feeding on me. <br />I'm going to taste this goodness. <br />For reasons to feel pleased. <br />And putting that energy, <br />In my mind to ease it freely. <br /> <br />Not going to practice attacking what I lack! <br />Or pay attention... <br />To those passing sadness, <br />With static madness they seem glad to pass! <br /> <br />Bathing in the moment, <br />Of this joy descending. <br />Who knew? <br />I do. <br />Did you? <br />I've got it and it's wonderful. <br /> <br />And when people of pity, <br />Can't get enough of that to grieve. <br />I've got to leave those pity folks! <br />Sharing their limitations... <br />And stagnating philosophies! <br /> <br />Bathing in the moment, <br />Of this joy descending. <br />Who knew? <br />I do. <br />Did you? <br />I've got it and it's wonderful. <br />This mental mode I'm glad I chose!<br /><br />Lawrence S.
