Best Poems Written by Robin Huelsman

Just One Moment

In just one moment I’ll bear my soul
Thoughts and conclusions for time to keep
Should peaceful sleep and silent dreams
Relieve us of our maladies 
In a moment by a moments’ decree

Incited by a restless yearning 
Though no magistrate of liturgy
To assign the words to ascend these delusions
And define these days with justification

For I’ve heard the hallowed voices of reason
This world means business 
No time for gleaming
Or the painful pondering of poets dreaming
Wearily wasting away their lives
With their wounded hearts and tired eyes

Unlike he who professes the business of business
Profanely pompous and white with wisdom
And as the world was spinning on your finger
Lives in the balance as you linger
My senses dulled by your acrid drone
Subjecting my scorn, biting my tongue 

But all of us and everyone   
Are like vessels scattering to open seas
With twisting wave and driving current
And reckless winds driving us farther
Away from where we want to be

But there, on the not so distant horizon
All our purpose and our destiny 
Revealed and confirmed in a single moment
In a moment by its’ own decree
