PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Stephen Sondheim





Anything can happen in the woods . . .

May I kiss you?

Any moment we could be crushed.

Don't feel rushed.



This is ridiculous, what am I doing here?

I'm in the wrong story!



Foolishness can happen in the woods.

Once again, please.

Let your hesitations be hushed.

Any moment, big or small,

is a moment, after all.

Seize the moment, skies may fall

any moment.



Days are made of moments

All are worth exploring.

Many kinds of moments:

None is worth ignoring.

All we have are moments

memories for storing

One would be so boring!



Right and wrong don't matter in the woods

only feelings. Let us meet the moment unblushed.

Life is often so unpleasant--

You must know that, as a peasant.

Best to take the moment present

as a present for the moment.



This was just a moment in the woods,

our moment, shimmering and lovely and sad.

Leave the moment, just be glad

for the moment that we had.

Every moment is a moment when you're in the woods.
