Learning this life, learning how to live, once the lesson is learned,

Life changes and I must learn again.

It makes the moment special, it might be familiar, but not the same.

We gather our experiences and value them, but their guidance is

Incomplete. Each moment requires open-mindedness as well.

As I ruminate, the moon catches my eye, it is setting, the soft white

Whisper in the pale blue sky.

I stop talking to myself, and allow appreciation for the gentle touch

Of the morning moon. No feeling, sense, or thought, just appreciation.

No inspiration, desire, or expectation. Only This.

This is what I was made for. To be present for existence. To be present

For appreciation.
