This Moment


This moment seized
and yet is free

The moment gone

and yet a memory

This moment held

and yet is fleeing

This moment sad

and yet is hopeful

This moment quiet

and yet is screaming

This moment now

and yet is gone.

This moment is

and yet is no more.

This Moment Now Past

This moment present its gift to receive
Borne by what you choose to perceive

Harken well this moment now past
Within a memory held, a memory cast

And upon its thought and vision held clear
The moment once gone is again once near.
