A Strange Fish

Have you ever known a moment in time when everything else seems to fade away... and you just enjoy that moment. You want it to last, but it fades quickly.

In the hurry and bustle

there suddenly came a moment

that made me aware...

There was old music

and strange auburn light

and a splash of emotion

like cold water

from an ocean so deep...

and as I passed thru

to the world above,

I saw a poem

like a strange fish...

just a glimpse...

breath running out...

I missed it.

And now on the surface

left only with this.

And yet...

happy.

Author's Note

Not as dark as usual... but I have been untroubled of late.

Yes, those moments are irreplaceable and you write that perfectly. The lines: "There was old music
and strange auburn light
and a splash of emotion
like cold water
from an ocean so deep..." are just stunning and breathtaking. Loved this piece.

Golden moments indeed. I have them quite often with my grandson. Especially when he laughs. A wonderful treat. Being untroubled is a grand feeling is it not? Good write.
