Moments are meant to be
more than
more than important 
well-worded afterthoughts,
afterwards 
and sorted
into thoughts and feelings 
of grace and gratitude,
conduits of attitude 
and appropriate 
for smiling
for creating more…

Moments are for love
reserved for lovers
of all things lovable,
especially hurts
because hurts are 
what make love real
and real love is a moment
a moment that is most important 
and worth every bit
of every cost 
of every iota
that has to be tolled 
for the story to be told

Moments are real
however unexplainable 
no matter how much proof
and still within the realm of 
perspective 
and the neglect it takes 
to be belief
and sustainable 
and achieved as good
or bad with lessons attached 
and batched into psychosis 
of an ever so consistent optimism 
of routine,
of constantly going
through 

Moments are the worst way 
to experience trauma
and to know regret
or let have power
because they’ll devour you
and over time 
are hard to forget
and let go of
and gain forgiveness for
or have access to,
once they’ve been missed

Moments are the reason
that we endure
that we take our time
to breathe,
to grieve 
for being sure
and overcompensating 
indulging in mediocre absolutism’s 
this altruistic clarity that designs
defines
our leaves
gives us things
like clarity.
