moment by moment

moment by moment
we live

it only takes a moment
to die

life is a fleeting span of moments
just as we find one that bring pleasure

its gone
the next moment is here

time is elusive
forever marching on
heedless of our joy
our pain
our moments of.........

life

it comes
it goes
it comes again

round and round we go
never ending circles

they change and shift
grow and diminish

never can we hold a moment for more
than just a moment
then its gone

gone
never to be quite the same again

we age
our bodies grow old
the moment is here
then gone
here
gone
here
gone
where did it go?

slipping into the past
sliding into the futre
the next
and the next
and the next

how do we hold on to now
why does it matter?
it is unattainable
its already gone again
and again

unraveling spools
of time

moment by moment

I am

feel the pain of time
gathered neglect
filling me

a cusion of safety
woven round
years of hiding

wounded i fled
to protection percieved

just another layer
damaged

lessor of evils
or pain managed

how does one let it all go
let go of the fear
peel back the layers

let in the rawness
and be
me
