Moments...

Moments rendered,
Moments passed,
Of all those things
That will never last...

Memories are the past.

Of life and love,
Of love and laughter
There are always things
Which are much sadder.
Take them in
And hold them near...

To rise above the fear.

Thoughts winding
All unbinding.
Taking hold
Tighter still...
Of each moment,
Of each thrill.

Hold me longer still.

Darkness and shadows
Doubts and failures,
Building rust
On today's sculptures.
Pray each day

Is not eaten by vultures.

Moments lost,
Moments forgotten.
Moments stolen,
Moments denied.

Moments shared,
Moments spared.
Moments hidden,
Moments branded...

Never to be forsaken.
