Don't aim
at the future
what's on hand
is enough treasure
in the beckoning
of every opportunity -
there shouldn't be
any reason for tarrying-
the sun has only
set hours for shining
soon comes its setting-

let your talent
be in best unfurling
let your heart
be fearless in feeling
let not love
be in waiting
reach out
for the lips
that are craving
for kissing-

indeed every moment
is right for praying-

don't look
too far ahead-
the present
is your becoming
the reason for living-

when the last bell
is in chiming
you'd have no regret
but find sublime joy
in your farewelling
