A Moment In Time

 

You are just a moment in time then you are gone

Every blood dripped second held by fragile fingers

Hope calling you to rouse from the deep to the dawn

The sound of your life blood flowing as it lingers

 Waltzing silently with haunting thoughts in your head

The truth be told you are only once on this stage

So stand strong in your space don’t be the one that fled

A second of glorified ink on the blank page

Shed all that layers of tattered wounds from the self

Grab the crumbs falling from the soul that speaks at night

Banish all that black sorrow in which you have dwelt

Make it the currency that is the fuel for flight

 When the silver tolling bell sounds deep in your heart

You don’t fear an end you left footprints in your wake

 Life has been lived and you were the essential part

You were the splash in the placid silky smooth lake

 

Yes all we are is that nano second in time

When the earth heaved just a moment for us to shine

' .. Life has been lived and you were the essential part ~ You were the splash in the placid silky smooth lake .. '

This is more than a poem, it's a collection of bright lights: a walk through life, a contented departure; a creed to follow, a way of being and thinking. Thank you so very much for sharing what i feel is a precious view of how to be.

this is quite good....yes we are all a nano second and then gone...hopefully we make the most of that nano second...and as poets we leave a stain on the page that says we were here...we lived it, and we wrote of it.

You brought the latest jargon of modern science to express time.
Yes must keep pace with the advancement of science and technology among other things.
My most favorite lines are:
"Yes all we are is that nano second in time
When the earth heaved just a moment for us to shine"

[MOON]

That we are here is a miracle the rest is up to us. Thanks Zainul.
