Just That Moment
Not every moment in life
Has urgency
Some of them
Should be left unspent
And saved in the parcel of your heart
There was such a moment
Once, long ago
In the early morning
When the day was full of promise
Like a life not yet lived
I still remember
Sitting in sunlit silence
With the warm wind
And its kindly kiss
And the lapping of the lake water
Tickling pebbles at my toes
The scent of pine trees
And wood smoke
The taste of clean pure fresh air
And the sound of a faraway bell
Tolling
Echoing
Echoing
Echoing
Over the water
Beneath a bright blue gold-gilded sky
When you find that moment
Let it just be
There is nowhere else
There is no other
There is no why or when
There is just that moment
It cannot be taken from you
It is for you and only you
Keep it in you
Always
