Yes, not getting too far in the future or too far behind can help us to breathe easier. Your illustration is lovely and pairs perfectly with your words. Nicely done.

Comment from zanya
Yes it's an interesting concept to dwell upon and has a distinct air of 'enlightenment'- the present moment being the only one we really have - a lot said in so few words

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written 8/6 syllable poem about living in the present is the best way we can breath freely and experience life as it is at every given moment.

Comment from Susan X Smith
This poem well meets the writing challenge requirements in terms of form and content. The picture is a good addition. I would prefer "living in" instead of "live into" but obviously it is not my call.

It is so simple a thing that we humans often struggle with. Not living the past, or the future on in most cases the day...it this precise Present Moment that is so precious.

Comment from irishauthorme
Two simple lines that tell a story, and hold a world of meaning!
In my life-long experience, too many people live in the past, held down by memories they can't lay down.
The young are better at living in the present than us older people, they have little in their pasts and much to live for.
On the other hand, I could also interpret your 8-6 creation as; "Take a Deep Breath, Look up and enjoy the sunrise!"
Good job

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
I just love living in the present, yet I was brought up in a household that promised everything tomorrow and how patiently waiting was encouraged. These days there is no time like the present to do what you want to do, I enjoyed your words here, love Dolly x

Dolly, oh yes! The Dream and Goals our families implanted in us... it is energizing to know that the best that life has to offer is this Present Moment. It has been a personal delight to absorb your comments and support throughout 2020, you are delight and I am a very big fan!
