A Moment Passed By

A MOMENT PASSED BY When I was young A moment passed by It seemed like such a small thing then Words left unspoken Feelings kept inside Commitment brushed away. Yet in that moment A shadow seemed to pass Before my soul Like a specter with judgmental eyes Sent to haunt my memories All the days of my life Sent to remind me of my silence Sent to make me wish I could Go back and live that moment over again And get it right this time.

Sometimes a moment is our most powerful memory, and regret. Nice write.

Thanks. I remember with outdoor photography there were some split second shots I missed because I hesitated. I can still see them in my mind. The same is true of life itself.
