Jasen Ridley Poet Sonnet

Moments In Time

We must move forward from moments of the past
The rearview portrays a world that no longer is there
A moment in time on the clock that was never meant to last
These are fleeting moments of the mind that everyone shares
Time is a lovely illusion that everyone loves to hate
The clock is a reminder of the vulnerability and limits of time
It continuously moves us forward to our inevitable ultimate fate
Our memories are a way for many to reminisce and press rewind
In this way we travel in time back to the many places we have been
Remembering a life that was there but, in a sense, never really was
Places captured as pictures in our minds that we would love to see again
Hindsight is 20/20 but also a very unforgiving judge
Remember to live each moment as if you'll never see it again
Share your time & yourself with all those you truly love

The last two lines are very poignant. Something to really consider. So enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing. Jasen Ridley September 10, 2023 at 1:23 AM Thank you so much Christina much appreciated!!
