It will never be this way again
With sentimental thought
I touch the moment I am in
I cannot curse this vapor thief
That steals while it is giving
And heals while inflicting grief
The timbre of pleasure and pain
Is love’s essence, bittersweet
As I realize it will never be like this again
Perpetual trickle of laughter and tears
Time comforts and torments
As moments become years
It will never be like this again
So I caress it tenderly
This moment I am in

I grabbed my camera to take a picture of the last morning forever, of three scholars leaving together.
You're wise to know that this moment doesn't last forever, and even wiser to try and capture it. Reminds me of the last scene of "Our Town." - Wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mosk, I'm just feeling the twinge of time today:)

ReplyDeleteCarrie, thank-you...yes, they do! WAY, way...
ReplyDeleteV, everything in this life is fleeting, isn't it? Thank-you for your thoughts!
