Being awoken every morning
By the chirping of the birds
And the sunlight pouring through my window
I stop and remind myself
Of the beauty of this moment
Sitting in a quiet seaside café
Breathing the aroma of fresh coffee
Reading a book
Listening to the song my father used to sing to me
I smile
I stop and remind myself
Of the beauty of this moment
Hugging a friend
Saying ‘see you later’ and not ‘goodbye’
Telling her she has made my life more beautiful
My lips start curving into a smile
Just when my eyes well up with tears
I stop
I remind myself
Of the beauty of this moment
Writing a poem
Watching my pain manifest into words
Being broken
Being inspired
I stop and remind myself
Of the beauty of this moment.
It often seems to me
That life is nothing but an appreciation
Of beauty
Of simplicity
Of the present
Life is nothing
But the here and the now.

WOW! That was very beautiful.. Really really nice.. It makes you think about life in the way it should be thought about.. Being in the present.. being with the flow.. enjoying every single moment.. knowing that today is a gift.. thats why its called the PRESENT.. :)
Very very nicely written buddy :)
