In one moment
Things can end,
In another
Wasted,
Yet another,
Create the bond
Of a lifetime.

A masterpiece,
Can be created
So quick,
Or take a lifetime
To accomplish.

In words like this,
They can create
Wandering thoughts,
Creating images
Of bouquets so different,
The originality of creativity
Will never be cloned
From similar views.

No two people,
Will occupy the same image
Unless helmets are strapped
To a recording.
Yet eyes will focus
On different things,
Seeing things so different
As to be a unique person.

I take a moment
Of reflection
From the gem of life,
Sparkling clarity,
A treasure
Of independent meditation.
For at any time
The mind can mist
Into a fantastic rainbow
Of self worth.

So here a poet,
Took letters,
Forming words,
Into lines
Of verses in,
Just a moment.

Thought: My name may ring clear or may be hidden in a fog, for that does not matter, as creating the image for you to meditate from.

Thought: I take letters forming words from a mind confused, as readers absorb my puzzle I gain clarity to get more confused. Some day this will make sense to you and leave me dumb founded.

Of self worth.

"So here a poet,

And the poet did it beautifully.
Well done, D.Lester...much enjoyed.
