A short simple poem about greater awareness and being present in the moment versus materialistic tendencies.

gaining is impossible

how can awareness gain?

awareness can drop

the preoccupation with gaining

and will experience

a fuller greater awareness

awareness can drop

the preoccupation with gaining

through understanding

that nothing is ever gained

that awareness is all there is

and “having” is an illusion

do you pump your own heart?

did you decide to be born?

we are awareness only

we watch ourselves grow

into trees, bees, leaves,

snow, mountains,

and summer breezes

ownership

all you can ever own

is your own enjoyment

in the present moment

*

Poems on awareness, zen, love, the heart, nature.
