Please, just grant me

this one moment,
and let it be only for
itself.
Help me to quiet the chaos
of my own mind
and live
not in the regret of if only,
nor in the fear of what if,
but in THIS, the diamond-focused
NOW.
Let me have
eyes that see not just color
or shape
or dimension
or relationship,
but eyes that see
that which
IS.
Let all else be silent.
Let the Furies come to ground.
Let all distractions melt.
Let yesterday die.
Let tomorrow disappear.
Let the next minute wait.
Let me be fully
utterly
completely
HERE
and here only,
so that I might truly live
at least
once.
