A Moment

Moments eh, don't ya just love them?

A Moment

 

For a moment time was stilled

And

Became a total irrelevance

 

It was then though

 

As I waited and watched from the sidelines

Like some predatory voyeur

 

That for a moment nothing

Whatsoever seemed to matter

 

Yet in that instant

A hunger came upon me

 

Heavy

 

Like some dark depressive curtain

 

It was then I lost

All sense of direction and purpose

 

It was then

I realised she was lost to me and gone forever

.

[TL Boehm]

Life is a cacophony of moments - a blur and an inexorable undertow - all at the same time. Some things drag for decades and others wink out before we ever register. Found this poem thought provoking.

[Neville]

I am most grateful to you ma'am, cheers & All Good Things, N

[Lyn Anderson]

This is so true. We blink and it hits us. Sometimes it's done before we know it, and then we realize it, in a moment.

[Neville]

Yup, just like that and here we are both connoisseurs of moments...... N

Missed your wonderful writers dear friend. You are so right. Sometimes realizations come after the fact. Excellent...:)....................

Acceptance though a shock it was, came in one of those timeless surreal moments !

A poignantly cerebral piece of poetry Neville, the sentiment is touching indeed !

[Neville]

Cheers Tom, made my day.... Neville
