Moment-art

Do you ever do this...vow to never forget so you drink in a moment's silhouette

knowing soon you will
forget

because Time's hands are never still...

 Melissa invited me in from weeding and digging for an espresso-break...

.

 

The simple preciousness of an after-school moment caught me off guard  but even as I strained to etch it in my memory I sensed its edges blurring ...

This too will pass, I mourn

And try to etch within the heart

The form that fills the frame

That spills time’s claim in moment-art

This too will fade, I know

The come and go of years has taught

That nothing lasts too long, save fragments

Lingering in thought

Today will soon be yesterday

Love’s bloom of joy or grief

Drains moments like a little bud

Wanes hours leaf by leaf

Each moment must surrender

Tenderness wills love’s applause

Where sharp edges soon blur and render

All but Is to Was

This too will soon be ashes

Climax of thought, touch and heart

Are every at the splashes of

Life’s dying moment-art
