Just Be

Just be

Don't try to catch me, own me
I am,the moonbeam in your hand
That slips away , but fills your empty palm
With silver

Don't try to imprison me, keep me
But in memory
I'm the fragrance that wafts,
Tickles your nostrils, 
Leaving behind a sweet scent

Don't try to capture me , seal me in pictures
I am the moment, the frame,
To flicker,but a brief second 
On your consciousness 
And leave behind residual images

Accept me , as I am
Fleeting, flowing, free
And  enjoy me ,here and now
Not in memory
Or projections of what will be.

Find your freedom to be
Just be.
