Give This Moment Affection

Delight in this second
Spin her around in your
feeling machine.

Laugh if she sits 
on the edge, grinning
at you with her all-knowing look.

Savor that look because
you might spend eons re-living 
it. This might be the best 
glance, and the most terrific
feeling you will ever have.

Give this moment affection.
Treat her with kindness. Revel in
her fantastic attitude. Squeeze 
her in a heartfelt way.

There is always the chance
That this second, this moment,
This glimpse, this person, this day,
might be the only second left.

The closer I get to my next incarnation, the sillier I can be.

Hi Caren, I must say I enjoyed it immensely. I am also half fatalistic, We must enjoy the moment because it may be the last ... Congratulations, alkas.
