Moments of life

 

Lives all live are in moments

Moments of the past

Moments of that will be, future

And the moments that are

Here now the present

 

We think not of moments

But the moments that bring us

Experience, the experience of life

That brings us understanding

 

In moments we experience all

Some time we feel nice

Some other time not so nice

In rare moments we feel nothing

 

The emotions fear, angry,

Happiness and sadness

Intensify the experiencing moments

Whether we feel nice or otherwise

 

Always we desire and wish for

Having nice ones again and again

Avoiding those not so nice ones

At times dream on past moments   

 

Human nature is so created

To forget almost everything of the past

To provide free mind space for

New experiences of every moment

 

Nobody remembers what happened

Long ago in their childhood, Why not

Many were wonderful moments

To linger on, the pain of birth

The pleasure of affection and love

 

The past moment be lost for ever

Some thoughts though linger on

These thoughts to support experiencing

The ones that are here this moment

 

Some past deep sad experiences

Block our mind to the present moment

Distorting the true nature of experience

That is being offered now the moment

 

 

The past moment is dead and gone

And the future is yet to come

Which is a surprise, let it be

Be positive working towards it

 

Any person can fight

The battle of just one day

It is not the experience of Today

That drives a person mad

It is the remorse or bitterness

of something which happened Yesterday

and the dread of what Tomorrow may bring

 

Let past not stop you

And the futures not worry you

For this moment is yours

Live it full and experience all

We live our lives in sadness. Those precious moments of happiness are surrounded by them like bacterium being swallowed by white blood cells. An interesting look at that life lived. Some of the wording in is a bit redundant and there are a few misspellings or misused words, but overall a decent look at those moments.

Live in the moment. That's all we've got. Always food for thought.

[Kees Kapteyn]

My wife often tells me that I don't live in the moment enough- that I think and overanalyze things to the point of not enjoying where I am. I am slowly learning the zen of being completely in the moment and savouring it. Most of us could take her advice i think.

[Nicole (Carpe Diem)]

another fantastic piece pal - your words are always put together so well... thanks for sharing this

[Angel Bird]

Happy I read this or I'd have missed a wonderful moment in time, and the experience of the feelings your words provoked.

You are very right with everything you say, and it's true that out of experience wisdom arises,

Great write. It gives moments of thoughts.

[George Love]

I like the work as a whole, but some of the grammar and repetitive wording took away from it. Just a touch up here and there and it passes into one of your better works

Life is just a series of moments. Beautiful.

so much sadness and hope in one poem... I makes you think of life choices and the experiences you have had in the past.There are minor errors that can be fixed with the word uasage and the imagery.Other than that its a great poem.it speaks out to the readers, makes them think a bit.

Ach, the pain of knowing that all these moments that make a life are each and everyone of them gone, gone, gone...so soon. Life is unbearable when you think about it. Notihing lasts. Ach, tis sad. Once this is fixed in a mind there is no hope left. All is swept away. It is unbearable to have intelligence and know how it will be swept away. Sorry. I sometimes hate looking at photos of my children as I find it very hard to see how the momemts jet past. Nothing lasts more than a moment. We move from one moment to the next and then there are no more moments. And then there are none who remember us and our moments. Life is... a strange experience.

This is a very thoughtful piece and so true indeed!
I guess everyone of us should live for this current moment and for it's glory because the amount of experience each moment gives us is really amazing!
The font is quite small and thus requires an effort...So, I guess you should work on it..
But a great write indeed! :)
