This Is The Moment
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If there was ever a moment
where the dark was darker than death-
where the lonely was lonelier than mist
of remembering of how we kissed
living life only breath by breath

this is the moment.

~~~~~~~~~

If there was ever a moment
where the cold was colder than Everest-
where the hard was harder than stone
of the lost road that led back home
bearing the grief you chose heaviest

this is the moment.

~~~~~~~~~

If there was ever a moment
where I needed you just to sit with me-
to softly intentionally meet my eyes
to touch my sadness ere my demise
breath by breath, air of finality

this is the moment.

So soft and tender, the words convey an intimacy which is hard to do in mere words.

Good poem.

I think poetry should always be "lifeless" or timeless. Either way we write how we feel, and that is the life of our poetry for an eternity.

I call such an event, a fireproof memory

a poet who cares

You know, dear Dixie, while reading it I remembered the feelings it evoked when I read it the first time. It's very very beautiful and well written.

Thank you for sharing it once more.

Love and hugs.
