Mike A. Poet I do not know?

In the Simplest of Times

When does the most powerful moment of your life strike you?
It lands like a ton of bricks in the simplest of times.
It hits you not at that moment, but a moment much later.
True impact strikes so hard that it is only felt after the fact.
A calm after the storm.
The beauty can hardly be seen until after the moment's over.
Because memory often enlivens thoughts of the past.
Even the simplest of moments can later be perceived as the greatest of triumphs.
So when does the most powerful moment of your life strike you?
When you wish you had it back.
