BEING PRESENT

He is all he ever wants
He is all he ever can be
He is handsome and caring
Yes he doesn't feel it.

He searches in vain
He seeks aimlessly everywhere
His compass needle spins
He's lost to stillness & silence.

His conditions for looking within
He knows his true gifts
He accepts them reluctantly
He looks to others for mirroring.

He faces his good and bad habits
He suspends all judgment, as
He feels his heart opening
While giving and receiving love.
