Safe place (inspired by We Write Poems)

In the midst of the chaos
The pain and the fear
There’s a safe place
Always near, always here
Between what was
And what will be
The present moment
Is waiting for me
To let go of my thoughts
To relax with what is
Apart from right now
Nothing exists

  1. A lovely idea, and just right too. Reassuring. I feel safer already, and it keeps working too.
    Thanks.

  2. You are right, of course. I am going to try to adopt your philosophy, to relax with what IS.

  9. This is wonderful! This moment is the greatest gift there is, that's why they call it the 'present.'
