Moments

As life careens out of control, there are moments, fleeting moments of waiting.
The moments gather energy as the momentum ebbs and flows, soon the inertia of this instant will be overcome.
It is the calm eerie quiet that so excites the senses, the anticipation of what is to come but also the intensity of living within the current moment.
For a moment a moment is an eternity...

Life (Rembrandt and Virgil)

Joy

A fleeting abyss that is allowed to rest for a moment on your lips and tongue
Fighting the coming darkness, standing and facing the coming night
Life is ushered in with every breath but soon fades again

Suspension of thought

so that action might take flight
suppression of doubt so that hope might exist
fighting against self every moment to see that the moment does indeed come

Green City

The sun light washed over the green stretch of Bryant park
Warmth for a moment then offset by lazy breezes who tell of fall
A child plays upon the library steps while mother smiles
All around, work is put to rest if only for a moment
To have the liberty to spend all day in such revelry
But alas life and work beacons
Thanks to parks for fleeting glimpses into the elysian plains

I Fell in Love a Thousand Times

And a thousand times my heart was shattered
Not by what was but what never will be
And that is the sorrow
The guilt tinged regrets
Of chances taken prematurely
And chances taken posthumously
Though to fall in love even once and be loved back.....

Money

Allows for the speedy transformation of idea into reality, if well put to use
Keeps a roof atop your head, food in your stomach and piece of mind when traveling
Not to be worshiped only utilized, the line between the two can blur though
So we strive to achieve and in the process accumulate more or less depending...
Wishing that it were not so simple yet so complex
