Lord Byron’s Present Tense

To do it for joy

Without expectation

To do it for journey

Not destination

Ignoring the narrative

Embracing sensation

The pain and beauty

Your soul’s validation

Gene G. McLaughlin 2023

Embrace

I’m trying not

To always get

Distracted by

Shiny new things

To embrace what I’ve got

And to let

Myself see

What joy that brings
