Like a precious jewel of momentary sensation,
a thought tip-toes through my mind;
fleeting.... untouchable....
never
to be felt again.
For merely a moment=s
breath, it twinkles oh so brightly,
and
then fades all too swiftly,
leaving
behind just a speck
of
treasured inspiration.
My heart aches to hold it;
to
grasp it tightly within me
while I explore it's brief
but
vital existence.
Yet my struggle is in vain, for I can never recapture
the
intensity of that single moment,
and
it slips away, silently, asking naught
but
to be remembered.
For what is a single moment amid a lifetime of memories?
What
is a single star - hidden among a galaxy of lights?
Who
am I to struggle against
the
very movement of time?
These things I know, but still...
a
heavy sadness surrounds me.
As with the passing of a dear and irreplaceable friend,
The Moment is Gone!
