Moments
The sun on the first morn
of sweet summer
The snap of a shutter
amidst cold blue winter
The scowl of an envious other
A smattering of scarlet freckles, tender
on skin pale and easily flush

A great novel: endless mystery page-turner.
Cold sea water
on warm sandy feet
The shy smile of a lover
between linen sheets
And the steadfast heavy gaze of kohl-ed eyes
as dark as the bejeweled night.
The string quartet:
The reciprocation of love at first sight
The softest kiss on a moonlit night

storming the streets in combined might
In protest, against the onslaught
of injustice
in public, the unveiling
of a masterpiece
The energy pulse palpable in a packed stadium
of a million viewing
The humdrum of daily life is stacked with moments sublime.
each of those, stand erect and alone.
divided by distraction
invited by attention
disrupted by neglect-ion
united by feverish intention.
Should we not
nullify
thought
and exemplify
experience?
