Moments of Time
time memories flirt with us
we tend to flirt back
photos taken and stored like
pigeons being fed on beaches,
dragonflies sitting on pools,
side walking crabs and
mono-wheels strolling
down sandy beaches...
aircraft ascending nearby
fading softly into silence...
time hangs on tourist heels
time looms in all minds...
too little or too much...
time flows through tunnels
nightly dreams, some days,
perceiving reality in five
one act plays without the
need to any curtain calls,
time is distorted, recreated,
intolerable at best but a
little disarming at worst,
yet time is always what it
is or what it is not and
always remembered for
what it means to us when
arriving at a complete stop.
