Instances In Perspective

Sometimes some time slips by unnoticed
Like fog on moonless cloudy night 
But once it’s gone            it’s gone for ever
Instant past          an emptied moment in
frivolously flickered flight
Smoke and sand through open fingers
Here then gone         the memory lingers
Dancing in time 
Dreaming in rhyme
Watching the moments
Drifting away
With a hot cup of tea 
at the end of the day
