Just A Moment

by John Barber

I search for the truth

But I also have to drive to work

Off to the right is a creature in motion

a black cat about to cross my path

You never know until you try

the blind may come to see

I heard a train whistle from across the water

This seemed like an oddity

I saw a pretty girl walking down the sidewalk double over with laughter and it made me smile

A shirtless run in the breeze and the sun felt so good that I ran another mile

When my Jelly Belly dispenser kicked out a coconut AND a black licorice simultaneously It felt like I won a little lottery.

Sometimes drinking water feels like the most amazing thing

Expectations of what could be or should be are the most common cause of discontent

I suffer neither and enjoy every instance of unique existence and experience

I live in the moment
