The Vastness of the Moment

A cinematic poem about presence, longing and the quiet infinity of now.

I want

to surrender

to the vastness of longing.

I want to feel everything

this life can offer.

Let me breathe

the vastness

of every moment —

unforgotten,

yet quietly chosen

by what remains

in the heart.

I want to breathe

each moment.

I want to kiss the sea

and feel the whisper

of the wind.

Let sunlight

touch my skin

when my path leads me

to the highest mountains.

I want to feel it all.

I want my heart

to beat faster

within the vastness

of emotion.

I want to be

in the now —

for every moment

that leans gently

against our existence.

I want to keep yesterday

and still reach

for tomorrow.

But life?

Life I want to live

in today.

Forever.

Free

in the presence

of the present moment.

Because I want

to breathe,

to be free,

to live.

My heart beats

for the moment

that knows my name —

the moment that lives

within the instant

rather than

in faded memory.

Because everything

we truly experience,

everything

we truly are,

is

the now
