A Moment of Somewhere in Time

Clever, this instantaneous sentient
which knows, in
avoiding those that are mundane,
shunning customary ticks that walk
our day into night

to know when to clutch this moment of
somewhere in time,
that sense of awe by which to surprise,
blazing sparks that flare and flicker,
sparkle and twinkle, burst into explode…
did it not catch you?

Oh, seize the day, they say,
carpe diem
all the way                  and yet, and yet,

how long shall this blessed moment last,
less than soul’s intake of breath,
earlier than a wink,
breathless as an age held in dust…

as that schism of nerve
tells the hairs on one’s arm
                                              tingle now!

To study the width and breadth
of this, my moment
under your touch

is to know
a moment of        somewhere       in time.

and to be followed by that very dream

Recognition of the good, bad and the in between is essential in order to fully appreciate a gift.

very well said Karilea.

Kudos to you, Lady Karilea, on such a blazing, sparkling, flaring, flickering,
sparkling and twinkling piece of explosive writing!
