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.
