Moment's Momentum

Life in motion be smooth as lotion.
Slippery and soft; high and aloft.
Let my dreamful moment's notion
Not just an illusion, but a potion
Opening gate to goals not scoffed.

Shadow of yesterday in the city
Cluttered crank and, crumbling dank
Mistakes and flaws, half-outlaws.
All left behind like false idol-deity.
Like Titanic sank. Rolled over by tank.
Lessons learnt. Took only guffaws.

Light of tomorrow in the bright sun
A journey path not yet walked upon
Travel planned but unperfectly done
Make my detours as I make my run
As I walk, ride, and fly in joy and fun
Miles of smiles to be walked upon.

So I live tonight, the today, now.
Won't die, throw the die, or sigh.
Live regretless with pow and wow.
Know that in this memento of present
Is a gift of momentum, godsent.
Live moments that you won't deny.
