Can moments be measured?
The way minutes can?
Is there a clock somewhere
With a moment hand?
Some moments are heavenly
And some are from hell.
There are moments meant to be secret,
And others that you must tell.
The one destined for all to know,
The other, forever in the heart to dwell.
Euphoric moments that we wish to last,
Are quickly snatched from our tenuous grasp.
While dreaded moments feel endless in length,
Stabbing and gnawing and ebbing our strength.
The one truth about moments that I surely know,
Is that moments come and moments go.
