At one precise moment

A poem which uncovers the importance of one moment. Sometimes just one moment is adequate to alter your life.

Culmination depends on how you labour at one precise moment,

sometimes things just turn in your favour at one precise moment.

How astounding is the way events occur on this earth,

there are some who incommode themselves since their birth,

their sweat that is worth decades loses all its worth,

just because they fail to endeavour at one precise moment.

After enduring each and every face of savage strife,

one gains enough to bedeck the book of his life,

but remember that sudden turnarounds are rife,

each page can turn into burning paper at one precise moment.

There are many on this planet who loathe diligence,

their desire for reward is eminently immense,

they endeavour at the right moment, my friends,

and things alter to suit their flavour at one precise moment.

Vlasal Rolilla,
You have inspired me here. We are living in precise moments, one after another. This poem has given a feeling of slowing to see each moment as an opportunity for improovement.
What is our motivation? is it for our self or for the good of others as well. The last line was particularly nice. "things alter to suit their flavour at on precise moment.

Sorry for the (very) late reply. I was off Writers Cafe for the past few years.
I really appreciate your words. If a reader tells the poet that he or she has been inspired, the poet is inspired even more.

Love your poem. Many people often do not realize how important the moment they are in can be. That the decisions we make that might not seem important now always are important to our path in life.

Thank you sir for those kind words of commendation. I will be looking forward to your reviews.

again, i would leave out description...this again is universal...i really like the theme, and the rhyme scheme works well, although some lines can be shortened by taking out a few unnecessary words..
for example, "there are some who incommode themselves since birth" is shorter and sharper.

just thoughts...your poetry has deeply driven philosophy and is "eminently immense" in its scope.

yes, there are those who do good deeds just to be recognized and those who want instant gratification...but there are those who do things for the right reasons also.

Sir, I am thankful to you for your counsel and commendation. And, yes, I acquiesce that there are those who do things for the right reasons. I entreat you to keep reviewing my work and make me competent to get rid of the chinks my wall of poetry has.
