Just For The Moment

July 27th, 2008

Just for the moment I live in a cool, calm, collected pocket of bliss

On a sometimes peaceful shore on the Ocean of Life that I will sorely miss

For in the world it is fairly rare that the Waters of Life are ever calm

Because on distant horizons not yet touched there is always an ever present storm

Ready to pound and pummel away on my Pocket of Bliss in this quiet corner here

But here in my hidden place I am free to relax even knowing storms are near

Here I find solitude and calm, free from the troubles of Time, Space, and Life

Here I may lie like a lazy lizard in a not-too-warm sun without a Care

I am free to ponder the great questions of Time, Space, and Life

Until yet again I must dive into the troubled waters of War, Poverty, and Strife.

Here I am dry from the salty waters of Sorrow, Anguish, and Mortal Pain

And fight the waves of Fear, Hatred, and Corruptions embrace once again

Riptides of Depression seek to rip my young life from me

Gales of Defeat push Clouds of Despair to hide the Light of Hope above me

Whirlpools of Anguish seek to dim the Soul living within me

Lightning and Thunder of Misunderstanding seek to deafen and blind the Heart inside me

But always I know that just for the moment I can beat my way back to the calm

And battle my way to the Silent Island in the middle of the crashing Storm

To strengthen my Heart and brighten my severely diminished Sight

To open my ears and clear my Mind from the clouded Storm of Life

Away from the great quaking Cliffs of Change and Uncertainty

To shield myself from the worst of Existence in our harsh Reality

But just for the moment I know I am safe here in my hide away

Sheltered here from those things that seeks to lead my Sanity astray

Away from the Tornadoes of Crime and the Earthquakes of Hate

To recline here and help me to understand and to realize it is only Fate

Life is uncertain and as stormy as it is often known to be

I know that hidden in the tempest tossed waters there is a place for me

Where I can go to recuperate from the utter Chaos of Life

To gaze at the Stars of Faith in the soft skies of a calm twilight

But I know that I must return to the Ocean of Life

But for now I am worry free.... even if it is only Just for The Moment.
