That Fleeting Instant
You happen through the moments of your life,
Stepping from one worry to the next.
You plod along seeking your solace
From those who hurt the same as you.
You turn from them
Because they don’t really get you.
And then suddenly,
Something jolts you:
A panorama of impossibly varied vernal green
In the sudden sunny warmth;
Or a kind word from someone who does
Know just what you mean.
You know for that fleeting instant
That you’re actually okay;
That you have a noble place
Amongst the greens, the warmth,
Everyone.
