One Moment

Its twilight

The most beautiful part of the day

I can see the reflection of the drowning sun

On the dark gray clouds,, which

Float against the inky blue sky

I can still smell the memory of the last rain

Lingering on the earth

I can feel the promise of something

Something good, coming soon

Drifting in the cool air, which

Touch my face, reverently

I stop on my tacks

I can’t take one more step ahead

Instead

I stand and breathe in

The wind, the smell, the feel

And the memory of a good day bygone

My heart wants to sing, to dance, to enjoy

To capture that one moment

Just that moment forever in my mind
