Beautiful Moment
today...you are just a wraith
upon the winds...
oh Beautiful Moment!
just a wraith...
a mere flashlight
...of a kiss
a vanishing steam
off my heart's coffee
a mere blink,
of babyhood
you are perhaps...
the Sunday mornings
syruping down my toast
the blush of summer’s cheeks
watering down...to a photograph
the Cottonwood tree,
at the end of October
the lingering grace
of a gazelle...in an empty savannah
you are...
as fleetingly beautiful
as a mother's tears,
and a father's warmth
a brother’s bachelorhood
and a best friend’s bad mood
a bride’s glittering jitters
and a handsome stranger’s smile
you are perhaps...
the long-haired,
ageless copper red beauty
disappearing...into the horizon
wing-marks left in the sky
by a favorite bird
memories...
puffing away
at the soul’s cigarette
simply passing...
like my name
upon time’s misty lips
today, you may just be
a vapour
but tomorrow,
you will be a poem.
