Those Moments

A Poem by Mr. Pain

“Happiness, not in another place but this place…not for another hour, but this hour.” – Walt Whitman

This moment, captured and true, surely nothing can compare to this view.

Valleys seen, oceans swam, captured can momentarily explain who I am.

As I climb, as I breathe, this moment I see is something I can hardly believe.

But there’s something in this moment, a placeholder for time, something I can’t shake, whether it’s your moment or mine.

Beneath this sky, farther than I can see, there’s a part of this view deeper than the beauty placed before me.

No matter the moment, no matter the view, there is one thing unchanging, and forever… that is you.
