A Moment In Time

 

You are just a moment in time then you are gone

Every blood dripped second held by fragile fingers

Hope calling you to rouse from the deep to the dawn

The sound of your life blood flowing as it lingers

 Waltzing silently with haunting thoughts in your head

The truth be told you are only once on this stage

So stand strong in your space don’t be the one that fled

A second of glorified ink on the blank page

Shed all that layers of tattered wounds from the self

Grab the crumbs falling from the soul that speaks at night

Banish all that black sorrow in which you have dwelt

Make it the currency that is the fuel for flight

 When the silver tolling bell sounds deep in your heart

You don’t fear an end you left footprints in your wake

 Life has been lived and you were the essential part

You were the splash in the placid silky smooth lake

 

Yes all we are is that nano second in time

When the earth heaved just a moment for us to shine

how enchanting, as if comparing all that is important in life with an intimate partner, the subtle one and the images which you portray are very engaging, very nice

...you can not hear my heart pounding in my chest but it is. Feeling breathless when I have read and felt the poignant emotional connection to your inspirational writing stops me point blank in the conscious moment. Being moved in an unanticipated moment is a blessing and a gift, especially when it gives me pause to listen to the stillness within...understanding a speck of sand seems insignificant but perception of the insignificance evolves the vastness of understanding our brief significance...
The ever evolving total essence of the conscious moment is ~ what a pleasure to find you here and now...Thank you for sharing your inspiration.

A blink of an eye and the time to shine is over, the chance is gone. So live life carefully and to the fullest.

Very beautifully said Moon. You truly saved the best lines of this lovely poem for the last:

"Yes all we are is that nano second in time
When the earth heaved just a moment for us to shine" - Seldom have I come across such stirring lines!

I agree, we are here for a moment, then gone and forgotten. Just a speck of life on the earths timeline. Best find your purpose for the short lived existence.
