Good Times

We do not recognize good times
When good times are truly there
It’s only when they’ve passed
That we start becoming aware.
When the good times are on
Our focus is on what’s not in place
And so the good times slip by
As though they’re in some race.
And then times begin to change
And something new takes their place
That’s when we begin to miss
What’s disappeared without a trace.
There are few among us all
Who cherish what they have in hand
As life slips quickly past
Leaving them where they stand.
Memories of the past
Don’t return whatever has gone
While misty hopes of a future to come
Leave us powerless like a chess-piece pawn.
The present moment bears many gifts
And that’s what good times are
Though something or other is always amiss
And draws our attention like a faraway star
When we put our attention to the now
We can enjoy the good times well
But when we run after the future or past
We transform our good times into hell.
