What Are Moments?

  

 We had a short-sweet getaway...here we were watching the hockey game; Canada squeaking out an overtime win against Finland!

Moments are soft, silver sighs

Shaped in hellos and good-byes

Soundless symphony or jot

Until echoes tune our thought

Moments are those half-breath spheres

Filled with laughter, smiles and tears

Free-fall from a mystic sea

Ever-present filigree

Moments; tiny cups we fill

With the vaunt of good and ill

Repetition virginal

Its well-spring subliminal

Moments are our trophy-tests

Living’s utter ‘worsts’ and ‘bests’

Moments; tick-tock melody

Preserved in a memory

Today is Family Day in Ontario so we spent it part of it with other families and part of it with our family...turning moments into memories...
