Moments

Moments that are recreated
 are moments of counterfeit.
They will never live up
 to the original's intent.

Trying to relive a moment
 is a waste of time.
Moments belong in the moment
 in the memory of the mind.

A pose cannot capture
 a moment's true face.
Moments that matter 
 have their own time and place.

Trying to capture a moment
 is like trying to capture a firefly.
Once caught in the hand 
 he will never shine like he did in the sky.

Moments are not to be
 taken out and shown.
But moments are to be set free
 and let die on their own.
