There Is No Tomorrow

Alone On The Horizon

Tomorrow is the carrot attached to the horse.
As the horse moves, the carrot moves. So tomorrow
Never comes because when it does it’s called today
Which can’t be quite the same. It’s difficult to stay
In the present if you’re focused on some sorrow
Of the past or the future. It steers you off course.

Life itself I have. I have no philosophy
About life. I simply become quiet then I
Am in tune with existence and love arises
Within me and a part of me realizes
That There Is No Tomorrow. I don’t have to try
To be there. In the present is where I should be.

Life becomes abundant. Outbursts of laughter for
No reason will occur just because this whole thing
Of existence is in so many ways funny.
There are those who know much about philosophy
But they lack life. The practice of silence will bring
About inner peace, good health, abundance, and more.

It’s a process of worrying. Neither is there
Any yesterday. All that exists is right now.
Be present in this moment and see what happens
In your life. You’re now able to see through the lens
Of existence with clarity and to allow
Blessings to rain upon you of which you can share.

Purpose

What To Do About Being

Logic lashes through meaning. The human in me
Knows too much to ignore not the way that things are.
This star system is but a mere speck in deep space.
Planet earth is a micro speck cursed by our race.
New York City, a super micro spec, is far
Off the scale of significance, actually.

So, the source of creation may not even know
Of this speck of a system of which I’m a part.
If it ceased to exist in the blink of an eye,
Would it fail to take notice? I too much rely
On some force not within me to enter my heart.
Arrogance hinders me from just letting it go.

There’s no God given purpose for me to be here.
That all comes by conditioning. Humans perceive
Themselves as having purpose, but insensitive
We are to other species that are here to live
As we do – without discord. The web that we weave
Is of total entrapment in unconscious fear.

I Exist. That’s sufficient for me here and now.
My believing in something is not worth the pain
Of expecting good service from nature because
I’m the most worthy species. It gets no applause
From the source of creation. Why seek, but in vain,
What my purpose in life is? I can but allow.
