A moment passed

Each moment is a gift, each second another is lost. Give each moment away on point, nerve to be caught stilling one away.

 

A moment passed as I walked the old dirt road. Another drifted by, turning to look at me as if it knew me. I looked to the ground and turned my head around, to see if it had left me.I was busy on my way, to do something important today, bills to pay and off to a job to pay my way. To moments, I had nothing to say.Before I knew it the day was done, I laid my head to rest.  I tossed and turned as a dream tormented me. Each moment that passed me that day, now had a face and something to say.I tossed and turned, unable to wake as the last moment came to say. "Today was the day your last moment passed by the way…there will not be another moment of another day." In that moment I faded away.

I enjoyed and respected this piece. Although I wouldn't call this a story per say, but more of a "Prose Poem". It's structured like one and has that rythmic feel. I write prose mainly and descriptive poetry, and it is done very well, but I have to call 'em as I see 'em.

[Kimberly "Melody" Carney]

I agree with you.

I really feel the anxious feelings in this poem and the fretting.

[Southern Cross]

I just visited the memorial sight and this poem and its meaning hit close to home. Beautifully written

[Kat Wildd]

I love this...very thought provoking. Life passes so quickly and it's good to be reminded of this

[R J Askew]

A most moving read. It is hard to think that our lives are just a string of moments. Our lives seem so long when we are say 8. And even when we are 18 a three year university course seems like a vast tract of time. And then when we get older time shrinks .. and then all we are left with are moments. And then even they are .. ach, writing this review is a moment in my life, reading it a moment in yours.

Dear beautiful soul sis, how do I love your contradictions, and brilliant insight in this one.
Your wordplay is in a lovely way so cynical, it touch my core. So right you're (as always) I think you're one of the few, who profoundly lived life, already, and only can get richer in your soul, and spreading word. The "Revolution" listening to the lyrics too ;) lovely.... the immense change in lifes word, and being. Maybe you faded away dear one, but, you only will be stronger! wonderful write!

This is very diffrent for you and I think you nailed it. I love what you've done here.

[Kimberly "Melody" Carney]

This is not that diffrent for me, as I write only to make others think thoughts they already know, but forget to think. I'll do that in any way possible. ;)

[Norma M Sutton]

I like this.

[RachelReaper]

All of your poetry inspires me to get up and make something of myself, and this one does as well! Amazing job on another excellent piece of writing!
