In the Moment

In The Moment

My time and space has been reduced
On fear my mind will atrophy
I seek a thought in reverie
A spark to light my mental fuse
A muse to conjure up a Poem 
And see the words in tandem run
Another comes so easily
Completed as I’m in control
The theme I’ve chosen comforts me
To create words so gracefully
As lyrics that await a song
To rest and wait until such time 
A newer moment comes along
