Moments Are Alive

Moments Are Alive

A Poem by Anand Sehgal

Moments are colliding against
each other,
everywhere in the time space,
every now and then .

Some are dying ,
Some new are being born.
Moments are coming out of their own wombs,
Triggering a hyper-evolution.

Moments are random ,
Some are losing their way ;
Some are coming back to the right track.

Moments are entities too;
Some are being forgotten ,
Some are becoming endearing in-laws .
Moments, in a nutshell , are
very much like us.

Alert, awakened ;
 In need of proper treatments -
That is how the moments are.

This reminds me of the movie 'Crash,' starring Sandra Bullock, the only similarity being how things collide into one another; or in the case of the movie, they crash. Things seemingly unrelated, always are; and those that you hate the most end up rescuing you in the end. If moments don't collide, we're not living. The alternative would be still and silent.

The ending is a perfect summation: how we must handle with proper care.

thanks a lot. Glad that you spent some time on the piece :)
Being a tanka poet, I immediately translated your poem into tanka-ese. Tanka poets capture the moment in each five line poem and to me, that is the "proper treatment" for the moments you describe so well. Very well written, Anand.

thanks a lot Jack, Glad that you felt that way :)
moments are very much like us...they come, they live out their time, and then they are gone...

in an instant...we are only here for what really is an instant...
we need to make the most of moments.

Very thought provoking are your moments - you do a noteworthy analysis of these segments of time.
May we each have good moments more than we have bad moments!
