Glimpse

Ever felt like this?

the problem with

a glimpse

is that you never

take away

the proper lesson

you see what maybe

could be

and somehow should be

and you long for it

you yearn to know

to feel, to have

maybe hold

most of all, you despise it

you hate what

could have been

because, somewhere it

could have been

now, does this mean

that what is, is less?

worse? not the way

it should be?

no. because what is, is.

If it could have been

It would have been

that, that is not, is not

the real problem with the glimpse

is that we never forget

we saw it, tasted it

held it

the true lesson in a glimpse

is simply that

the moments are important

don’t long for what you

do not have

rejoice in what you do

and know that on

some other plane

some other time

someone glimpsed what

you live, what you have

what you love

and right now

they long

for it

that, that is, simply is.
