The Zen of Walking

Why do I impatiently wait
for the future
as I hate many moments
of my present
and then when the future
makes it to Now
I can only look back
with longing
Memories skewed
only remembering the good
and wishing it could be like that
again
How do I forget so fast
that I loathed it when it was now

When will I live in the moment
When will I stop thinking there's something better
only to wish it back
when the "better" comes

When will I be satisfied with
exactly what I have
I believe that's the true definition of ...
ENLIGHTENMENT
Recognizing the good in each
moment
Remembering both in memories
Looking forward to the future
with realism
neither Longing nor
Loathing
Just contentedness
Neither running nor
dragging your feet
Just the zen of walking
Just smiling daily
calmness in the heart
peaceful soul
