This Moment

This Moment

Taking this moment for what it can be

is for the most serious of kinds.

The kinds who recognize this moment

will never pass this way again

we’ve but one moment,

this one.

Entrusted in it is everything,

all you ever wanted to be,

could be, or are.

It’s right here and right now,

it’s either slipping through your hand

or clutched dearly to your chest.

This moment is for the most

serious of kinds,

will you take it for granted

or give it your best?

Wear the things of this world loosely,

grasp dearly those people you hold dear.

This moment, this is what you’ve

waited for your whole life,

it’s all you’ve ever wanted it to be.

A life less ordinary is lived in

spectacular moments

self-actualized.

In the midst of triumph or despair

this moment brought you there

built on every moment before.

This moment is for the most serious of kinds.

Time defined in progress of existence.

Suffer, fail, fall-down…..

Get up, labor, persevere.

Moments as catalysts

that we may treasure all that exists.

This moment is for the most serious of kinds.
