Unnoticed


moments, those tiny vignettes
of time, captured
landscapes, life quilled

upon passing seasons, gifts
and treasures collected
to fill memories' dusty

corners... but sometimes
there comes a moment
unnoticed and slipping

quietly into its own
silence... it will have no
tomorrows, no memory that

might ease the emptiness
of regret or words to paint within
the soul, no poetry that stills

the heart and no whisper
to drift upon the wind... instead
there is only the silence

and a moment that will
never be again... it might
have been a song, perhaps

a dream or a poem never
written... it might have been
simply a memory... unnoticed
