To Hold A Moment
I sought to hold a moment in my hand...a
shining bit of time that would not stay...
and while I clutched it close beneath my
heart...I felt its fragile beauty slip away.
In frantic haste I closed my other hand
upon its shimmering beauty as it lay...but
time cannot be brought back once its gone
...nor yet one single moment forced to stay.
