Truly Dying to Truly Live 
 
As long as I am thinking first about how life should be 
Then I am not truly one with life right now
I am in wait for the present to be the past
Or I am in wait for the present to be as it should be 
But life knows nothing of all this 
Unless I have not been so completely 
Swept by the beauty of this moment 
I will not be able to be in a pure state of wonderment and awe 
The magical ability of life to happen 
Without my need for a past or any knowledge
I have to die to my past 
I must die to all I know 
To truly be alive right now 
Aliveness is only now by itself 
It does not need me 
Then I find 
There is only life 
Only ever life 
Glorious magnificent life
