Timelessness

Timelessness

How does one capture a moment?

How can one slice off a sliver of time that is timeless?

Where does this fleeting friend live, but if not in the heart?

We spend our lives searching for a singular moment within the singularity of the past—

Only to lose sight of the stars around us.

Perhaps these moments that flee

Are also the ones pleading with us to let go.

The ones whose solar winds

Long to set us sailing into new galaxies.
