Fleeting Moments

I write of those fleeting moments, unmindfully lived Gone before I was even aware of their passing; Knowing they were a mere uneventful glance, a slice of my life disappeared vanished gone-- Gone forever into that vacuous biotic known as my life, as it were, and Realizing so are the passages of every life. The whole is but gathered vaporous bits of mostly irrecoverables Still, I gather those glances into malleable clumps [I am thankful they were mine to live small pieces of me memorable joyful sad--] Of clay and mold them into one recognizable piece known as my life, as it were, and Realizing so are the passages of every life.

I never realized how fast life can change until the "pandemic" hit last year. " a slice of my life disappeared vanished gone-- " We had better grab these fleeting wonderful moments and start appreciating them!

So true! This past year seems like a total loss. I want to take a long trip so badly I can taste it.

Fascinating, Milt. Never thought of the 'story of my life' as a 'malleable clump' before. But it is, I guess. Kind of like an expert working with clay. It can be moulded to fit whatever shape... Nicely crafted! :) gw

Thanks, Gershon. My problem is that I could never really figure out who the potter is. I'm still working on that! Well, I'm just glad my poem will give readers something to ponder.
