The Moment

Beware the moment when the mind Becomes aware that all is well No fecks, no fears, no fault to find Just jolly tales of joy to tell All happiness and all good things Are here within the now and here! The fool from on the rooftop sings As all the angels disappear And demons gather on the hill Attracted by his careless cry To watch him fall, as fall he will As all things fall that fly too high And shine too bright, and fly too fast Enjoy the moment. See, it's passed... © Gail Foster December 6th 2017

Hi Gail, I used to so mistrusting of good fortune. Now I make my own luck. This too shall pass is the cry. The rhythm of your words are easy to write a song by. Its like cloppity cloppity clop. He he. Long time since.

Hello, Jannie, I hope you are well. This poem is about 'Murphy's' or 'Sod's' Law, depending how polite you are. All the best to you.
