Poem
In the span of a moment A word of caution Destiny alters Those fragile components In a moment a seed Comes forth to fruition Or it dies with no one to grieve No pause nor slight intermission In the span of a moment Fate awakens Mysteries that seemed unimportant Ones that had rested perfectly dormant In the grand scheme of life Those moments seem trivial A roll of the dice But they are really indivisible For the human condition Is fragile at best On guard to vague contradiction In the constant it heeds it's rest In a moment you can catch The gleam of an eye A flash of anger subdued Or a clarity replaced by confused The tiniest speck of time To a life interrupted Forever can find A heart too corrupted To trust in another Or even ones self Much more when those moments Cluster and swell In an instant your eyes Can behold perfection In the passing of time Reveals a cruel deception Moment by moment We fall or we stand Trying to control every component Its like holding sand castles with only your hands Yesterday everything seemed perfectly right Today my love, he went away Like ocean waves when tides crest high The mornings new landscape gives way I cry with every forsaken moment The moments by my side he's not here I've already endured the many moments All those that turned into years At times I want to go back To what was before I met him The level of empty contained in the past Was fuller than his presence rescinded There is no exaggeration That without him I cannot breathe In this lies the danger When he became the fabric of me My true love I gave only to one other this way He held it long after he passed away In truth it paled if portrayed In moments such as these I want to scream No matter to whom be displeased Cross valley and mountain it's rivers and streams How long my darling how many more moments For something so right To feel so wrong so alone For what is lonelier Than a moment alone A timepiece which knows no hour In the span of a moment unknown Me
