Fleeting Moment

Who am I, I often ask. 
I see no future,I see no past. 
I'm not the present 
I'm the here and now. 
A moment in time 
just a passing Cloud.

Loved the simplicity of your poem. Your title steals a bit of thunder from your finale but for sosme reason it works anyway. A totally charming poem.

Welcome Back John, I loved the entire sequence and introspection. For life is here and then it is gone. For yes all life is but a passing Cloud. - Blessings, My Friend, Daniel

Hi brother John, I haven’t seen your message, I will go and take a look and will certainly leave a comment. Can’t say everything is fine, but we are still plodding along.

Hi sister Beryl, I sent you a message on FFP, asking if you would comment on a poem and a quote, most of the old members have sadly passed on, and those who are left can't be bothered anymore, anyway I hope you and hubby are keeping well.
