THE MOMENT
Part 3


Almost at once
The Moment arrived

but was not as I’d pictured
or for what I had strived.

Its face was mine altered –
by time and strange place

and it was then that I knew
how my life would unlace:

"I wanted to spare you
wrong place and wrong time

so what you had wished for
continued sublime.

You might never have known
now this fear or stark dread

if you’d let me pass by
and not clasped me instead."

It does make one wonder just how much control we have, if any, over our own destinies. Nice write! M.True

Wonderful existential ending with a bit of surreal imaging.

"Its face was mine altered –

by time and strange place"



It just does not get any better than this. We can run, but we can't . . . you know . . . hide. We can have our fantasies, but reality has a nasty habit of hitting us in the face. There are times when we should dream, but our dreams should never be a substitute of life.
