Holding someone close, striking out in anger, evoking a smile or turning a happy time into sadness all happen within a moment’s notice. Each happens only once. Sudden. Spontaneous. Often no time to think, no time to change. Cherish the moments. Be quick to smile, slow to anger.
MOMENTS
Minute Odes Magically Embracing Newly Tendered Sentiments
A smile, a kiss
Little things, bliss
A nod, a hug
Anger under the rug
A slap, a pat
That’s it, that’s that
A laugh, a sigh
A good hearty cry
A touch, a feelin’
A rockin’, a reelin’
A frown, a tear
Sadness to disappear
A gift, something sought
Outloud, in thought
A giggle, a scream
Anything in between
In the morning, at night
Calm repose, deafening fright
A sight, a sound
Beauty all around
Within silence, amid song
Here to stay, not so long
A taste, a smell
Known all to well
A time, a date
Up early, out late
At work, at play
Any time of the day
In death, in life
Under calm, within strife
To live, to die
Without questioning Why?
