Immanent Yet Transcendent Poem About Moments

A precious passing moment

Like silver dust or

Shooting stars

Blind us – for an instant

But fade into the dark

 

Never to be written

Never to be told

Doomed to be forgotten

More precious though than gold

 

 

Moments come and go

Moments good and moments sad

Moments lived and past

 

Yet moments make up hours,

Moments make up days,

Moments make up each month and year,

That make up every lifetime

 

So how are they forgotten?

Why are they to fade?

And as I pondered this

I happened to look out

 

I saw a shooting-star appear

Too brilliant with its light

It blinded for an instant

So powerful was its might

 

But then it disappeared

Fading from my sight

And I'm glad to look out again

Because now I can see

 

They're never to be written

Never meant to be told

They're not to be hung onto

They were never there for you to hold

 

Because moments come and go

Moments old and moments told

Moments lived and past
