In the Moment

a poem by matt ⭒ july 7, 2026

the worst thing we could wish for
is to be able to fast-forward our lives.
too often may we find it tempting
to never have to wait in line,
to escape another sleepless night,
to know everything in an instant
without a second of wasted time.

but with every minute we skip,
and every moment we miss,
we are betraying our own reality,
we are killing our limited time,
and we start losing what it truly means
to fear, to despair, to love, to hope,
to be human in our wonderful lives.

so I hope you will experience everything:
every imperfection in your routine,
every wrong you learn to right,
every nightmare and every dream,
every morning and every midnight,
because the best thing we could wish for
is to be able to live in the moment
and enjoy the great ride of life.
