Focus
At times I lose sight
of what’s right;
at times my bones ache,
my heart feels tight.
I can feel so far away
from who
I work so hard to be each day,
and so I stray.
I wander in my mind
until I find
a way to leave the fog behind.
Focus
on the moments
that make you feel like you’re alive.
Focus
on the moments
that remind you that you’re here.
For we only exist
as the people we present.
If we waste our precious time in doubt,
we’ll learn to resent.
So let me soothe your soul,
with secrets you already hold.
I’ll play the role
of mentor in your mind,
until you find
a way to leave the fog behind.
Focus
on the moments
that make you feel like you’re alive.
Focus
on the moments
that remind you that you’re here.
Treasured books
and lustful looks;
belly laughs
with friends in baths;
stormy walks
and late night talks;
salty skin;
a lover's grin;
swimming naked in the sea,
your gaze and the waves holding me;
melting into music
under the moon's light.
Hold onto these moments;
grip them in your hands.
Hold onto these moments
because they're all you have.
