String of Moments
String of Moments
Moments
A moment always, just a moment is
a life, a love, a kiss
everything comes and goes;
Lovers, friends and foes.
The past once our present,
in moments, exists
in the shadows, in the heavy mists,
of our memory’s scent
But moments are just moments always:
Years, months, or days
A life, a love, a kiss.
Moments always come like this
and…in no other ways
I’ll live in them,
but it’s just the same:
Love, joy, pleasure…whatever.
And in the absence of comments,
I will be there forever
with my string of moments.
