Moments

That moment.

That moment of happiness

where you're worries washed away.

everything was perfect

like the planets aligned and everything fit into place

like you finally solved the puzzle,

you know the one that's been on your shelf for ages.

 

Then that moment ends.

Happiness shifts to an uncomfortable silence.

An absence of emotion.

And we must move on.

That's the human experience.

It's made of moments,

experiences,

sights, and

sounds.

Moments of ecstasy

and of torturous pain.

 

Then the moment passes.

And the cycle continues.

Shifting, changing, until all moments stop.

And the next moment begins.
