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

You have some good imagery here, I suppose, but I do think you ought to change that font to something more conventional, preferably sans-serif. Just because something looks artsy, of course, does not mean that it's actually art, and this is dangerously close, I think. Your concept is good and your execution is fairly well done, but really, you never want to intentionally make something difficult to read.

Thanks so much , took your advise been bothering me a bit, reads quite well on my I pad but do see the problem.

Time. One of the most fascinating concepts to have ever escaped the mind of man. I myself am obsessed with the enormity of it, the fluidity, and mystery. The relentlessness of it. You do much to capture, and hold still the moment here
