too soon away

 

take this moment,

for what it’s worth –

merely a drop of water

in a vast ocean of time…

 

and even now –

as we ponder our existence,

the moment is gone…

 

a hurried good-bye –

a hand outstretched,

not taken –

insignificant?

 

while we consume ourselves

with – what if –

what is – fades away!
