Moments

poem by: John Prophet
Written on Jun 18, 2021 

Moments.
Life.
Life
can be
a slog.
Brutal 
to endure.
Pain and
sorrow 
accumulates.
Adding up
over
time.
Bending
people
to its 
will.
However,
there are
moments.
Moments 
when life
lightens.
Moments
of great
joy and
simplicity.
Moments 
in quiet 
reflection.
Hearing 
the birds
sing.
Feeling 
the warm
sun.
Gentle 
breeze
rustling 
the leaves.
Peaceful,
reflective 
times.
Enjoying
being alive.
For those
moments 
at least,
making things
alright again.
