That One Moment

In your one great moment, there will always be disappointment.

When that moment comes,
You will have to act,
Do something, anything.
You’ll look around,
Feel the success,
And smile.

Or maybe you won’t.
You’ll see through all the happy,
And notice absence.
You’ll look around,
Feel your heart drop,
And still smile.

Because in the end,
In that one moment,
That really matters,
You’ll look around,
And realize the truth.
You are all alone.

Yes we are all alone yet are able to stand together if we seize the moment and let others in... Inevitably, we will experience everything, life and death alone for no one really knows what lies beneath the smile or grimace of another. In a mind's eye, only truth is known to the mind who holds it. nicely done and thought provoking.

Amanda, I think you did a very successful job of painting the irony of certain situations in life. We all have moments and trials that assess our very cores, and I think you portrayed that very vividly, my dear:) Great job, and keep me updated with your work.
