a fluttering moment

 

I don't close the window

because I don't want to scare the birds

on the roof

pecking at the barley morsels

 

I just stand there, bare-chested

in the cool September air

with the windows flung wide-open

hovering in the corner of my

hotel room

like a silent ghost

 

There is nothing to tell

in this story;

It is just a moment in time;

A simple moment

 

But the moment belongs

to me,

in that long pause of moments

given

to me, in a lifetime

 

as I stare across the Milky Way

and wonder,

 

what we are

For

that is exactly what we are,

a moment, 

for we are a short time, 

for a split second,

and a little while. 

Leaving a significant stroke for particular eyes. 


"We are, Each of us angels with only one wing, and we can only fly by embracing one another." -Luciano De Crescenzo

Spinoza's picture

With all things Now

 

And that moment, is always the now. And how deep we wade into The Now, determines our level of engagement – with all things beautiful.
