ONLY MOMENTS
I thought I had something to say
A while ago
I thought it mattered
But seems to me
As time rolls by
Who really wants to hear?
As we run circles around the unknown
Can’t really tell you why
But to me it’s true
The more I see
The less I really know
And I feel I am fading away
Yet I cannot rest
With impending doom
They say
Surrounding this illusion
As we drown our senses
With nothing that really matters
Most of the time
Except moments
They’re only moments
A roaring laugh with a friend
A good glass of wine
That tender kiss
Stillness at dusk
Or just to sit and notice
Whatever it is we forgot to see
Just moments
Glorious, wonderful moments
That remind us of why we are here
But we can’t hold onto them
Like Jello in our hands
They squish between the cracks
When grasped too tight
Or melt away
If held too long
But that doesn’t stop me
From wanting
Or trying
From hoping
Inspiring
Myself to continue
Some quest for truth
Or maybe just
Another moment to live
Another heartbeat to love
Another second to be here
And be
Just be
In the wonderment of
Existence
That can disappear in an instant
So precious
A gift
So I will ponder the questions
No one can answer
And know that I just may never know
Yet at the end of the day
With points of light dimming from my eyes
I can say that I truly lived
