The message of the story: Don´t search for meaning where there is none. Life is now. And it´s awesome!

Fleeting

'Fleeting' they´d call you though
my mate
I mean
the ones who don´t really know
how to appreciate
an instant´s sheen.

The 'here and now' has lost its glory
no follower, no fans,
while we make other plans
for an unknown future story.

Why
would you resign
the little something´s shine
in the corner of your eye? 

We actually lost our way
searching meaning
hence
believing
in some higher sense
not leading us astray. 

Don´t wait for whales to come around
they dive down deep to Ocean´s ground
and don´t swim to the shore.
So while you search impatiently
I really tell you honestly
the World is more. 

Look
at that sky
and see
how few it took
to make you high.
Best things on Earth are free. 

So the big sense
more or less
is not to strive for happiness.
There´s no magic light
on the other side
of the fence.

Don´t be blind
open your eyes
and see
that 'fleeting' is just
your mind.
No more lies.
Trust
me. 

I´d be happy to get your comments on this piece. It took me some time since English is not my strongest language, and actually I am a surfer not a poet :-) But hey... I hope you enjoy it! It would be my pleasure to meet you again at my blog: @surfermarly.
Have an amazing weekend, steemers! 

Cheers & live your dream,
Marly -
