The Moment

Flick of the thumb, arising flame
cigarette brought to life
green field, sun's farewell illumination
leaves shadows hiding me in the dark
children laughing, drum like echoes
hoodie, a choice before you part
pen and paper, no eraser
now is the best time to start
dreams, begin at the heart
