A Pondering Moment

a Pondering Moment
in the sensual hours of day...or night
can horrendously ache the mind

for every passing thought
leaves a sense of humane torment…or delight
they can ostensibly liquefy the heart

a split second of silence leads us back to the days
that we love so very much…or hate
and oh! how they tear ourselves apart

But we need them
These moments…
Keep us alive…or dead

I couldn't agree more. This lovely poem speaks to me of the lesser of two evils: live and possibly be hurt or live in fear. Thanks for sharing..............peace!
