In a split-second moment
Is all that it takes
One moment you're here
Feeling your breath of song
The next
you could be gone.
Drifting away
On the skirts of the winds,
into the blue skies of reflection.
Life is so
mysteriously attractive
and...unattractive.
Watching seasons change
their costumes.
Baby's first cry and
first laugh of joy.
And just who suffers more
As you sit by your mother
Holding her hand...quietly,
as she draws in her last and final breath.
And you feel her slip away
into the waiting skies.
Life is a peculiar balance
A journey, an Odyssey
Melodiously composed
of precious moments
Some joyous, some sad
I shall live
fully now with each moment
For who knows

Who knows
just how long
I shall remain here
