Everyone's Forever Moment

Everyone’s Forever Moment by Odin Roark When breath becomes the all When in and out focus Once thought forgotten Become a panoramic montage Where one’s childlike innocence Yearns to once again Ride Valkyrie’s promised awakening Journeying past yesterday’s interim adventure Where misbegotten pleasures Consider not tomorrow Such a moment Soars atop its ethereal smile Enlightenment’s infectious hope Floats down the hall Past closed doors Where crumpled pajamas Cloak wrinkled bodies Where Naked dreams Never forgotten Merely stored Await longevity’s pill Momentarily idle in its Pleated cup of promises Continuing past rain soaked windows The moment gathers blurred remembrances Where yesterday’s temporal control Gradually conceded odorous embarrassment Time’s often-inconsiderate sequence Passing sanitized plastic furniture Mortality’s welcome and exit lobby Moment pauses Nodding to wheelchairs Tennis-balled walkers Forever-faithful synthetic plants Through glass doors now open The oxygen tether finds itself Pulled taut to hover Between rain drops Preparing the inevitable clearing Where clouds of illusion Break apart to bring The radiant light of passage At long last… The umbrella of protection Is no longer needed Existence rallies consciousness Infinity becomes clear Moment’s endmost remnants Regroup into new beginnings Continuum’s Where When And why Remains patient Awaiting everyone’s Next forever moment
