Just One Moment

In just one moment I’ll bear my soul Thoughts and conclusions for time to keep Should peaceful sleep and silent dreams Relieve us of our maladies In a moment by a moments’ decree Incited by a restless yearning Though no magistrate of liturgy To assign the words to ascend these delusions And define these days with justification For I’ve heard the hallowed voices of reason This world means business No time for gleaming Or the painful pondering of poets dreaming Wearily wasting away their lives With their wounded hearts and tired eyes Unlike he who professes the business of business Profanely pompous and white with wisdom And as the world was spinning on your finger Lives in the balance as you linger My senses dulled by your acrid drone Subjecting my scorn, biting my tongue But all of us and everyone Are like vessels scattering to open seas With twisting wave and driving current And reckless winds driving us farther Away from where we want to be But there, on the not so distant horizon All our purpose and our destiny Revealed and confirmed in a single moment In a moment by its’ own decree
