The day unfolds Akin to an examination Experience our preparation The wrong perception Using it to handle an unknown Is like mistaking the shadow for the moon Unknown awaits us Distinctive every day the only known Awareness the key to unlock Being Present the best way to answer Adapting to every incident Sans an emotional reaction Look back same time Which the clock will show again Hours went by you didn't matter One step closer To the seeker Not elated not scared Each given its due share Of attention it deserves Time will pass or you pass the time A matter of perception How real or how false You know the answers in your heart
