Stolen

One can never
steal the moment.
Time's arrow,
relatively speaking, 
runs backward 
only at speeds 
greater than light.

But there are moments
when the world is right
if we close our eyes
and you take my hand
we can try.

I like this Roger - moment's come together to make up what matters in our lives. I like how you said 'one can never steal the moment' - this puts the responsibility on how we will react to such a moment on us individually. Well penned.
