ONLY A MOMENT

Never the same

Only a while

A sputter here,

a drop there

Life’s phases moving through a magical kaleidoscope.

Frills, thrills and yells

Enter through a doorway,

Enveloped by rain, pain the vain and insane.

Today’s sunshine might be a blessing.

But the same in tomorrow may be too pressing.

What is too close

Can turn too far away.

The darkness of hair

Only needs time to turn grey.

Once on the spot light, too soon only a memory.

Striking beauty can be stolen by aged wrinkles.

A state of the art invention , turns into an indigenous tool.

Loved ones held in warm embraces, later sharing embraces and kisses with termites in coffins.

A child holding tantrums suddenly grows and is mad at a kids silliness.

The Unfaithful becomes faithful.

A place of strife

Becomes a spice of life.

What brings a start,

Can fall apart

A toiling in today’s gown

May trigger tomorrows crown.

When the best is in for a ride

The worst gallops at is side.

An interesting continual toss of a coin.

It is or it isn’t.

It happens or it doesn’t’t.

You can hope.

Or sit still and cope.

Or better still, pack up and elope.

Yet,

It’s never the same.

Only a while

A sputter here

A drop there

What is now may stay.

ONLY A MOMENT.
