Moments

Moments

by Paul Curtis

a life is merely moments

interconnected

like the links of a chain

just moments

some fleeting

some lingering

sometimes singular

sometimes strung together

one upon another

to make experiences

in turn making a life whole

life consists only of moments

moments that comfort

moments that elate

moments of sadness

moments of joy

moments of pain

moments of ecstasy

moments to cherish

some moments are finite

others radiate through a life

like ripples on a pond

left by a rising fish

others remain rooted in the past

becoming distant memories

yet some are perfect moments

and are easily recalled

in perfect clarity

you are my most precious moments

I gave this to my wife a while back during a tough time. I guess I need to relate to it now
