One moment How long can a moment be? Tick, tock, tick, tock, The hands fly by, buzzing, whirling, flying, slowly "In a moment," they cry, always thinking of an excuse, "and I'll be right there!" One moment. How long? Tick..tock..tick..tock In a moment, a kiss could end In a moment, a life could be saved In a moment, a tear could be cried "Wait one moment," they say, always telling you to wait One moment. Why should I wait one moment? Why should I listen then as now? Tick...tock...tick... In a moment, I would be crying And I couldn't wait a moment To stop To listen To wait For you? "I'll be right there in a moment," they say, and never seem to come back quickly enough One moment. Where are you? Why have you left me? How long with this moment last? Ticking away, tocking away You can't stop the sand from falling "Be with you in a moment," they whisper, too quiet, too loud Too everything but not here Now Tick....tock.... One life, one moment One bat of an eye and a life is gone How long is a moment? Can you tell me the time? When will you be back? "One moment." Too long Too much ...tick... Not enough. "Sometimes stars can only be seen in darkness." "Sorrow's crown of sorrow is remembering happier things." |

I'll reply to this in one moment...j/k I agree with you on this one. Gret job! ~*~ Hell is not a place of fire and a devil with a tail and horns. But a place of torment because the light of God is gone. To escape this, accept the blood of Jesus Christ! ~*~ |

The longer you live, the faster the moments go, the more pleasure in the moment the faster it goes and waiting for some reason takes forever. Go figure. Liked your poem and your syle. In the dew of little things, the heart finds its morning and is refreshed. (ee cummings) |
