Each Moment

Each moment seems to drag on as all time,
Confined in my pen – and kept from it.
The moments are fused, flow, continuous, indivisible,
But can be separated with a thought, unmeant or deliberate.
Then, each moment seems to grow,
Take on the length of the whole.
I take comfort in finally reaching the end,
Knowing I will never live through it again.


Each moment is an individual, physical particle of pleasure.
Savor them each consciously, and they may grow languid.
They come almost too quickly when you string them together,
As you try desperately to save, to recall them all,
But they cannot be brought back; to try will just waste more of them.
