Being human

Those moments in time ...

Life is filled with moments

of togetherness and joy

of feelings and sensations...

that some of us were meant 

to experience only infinitesimally!

As we move on in life, 

those brief, happy moments

that were not meant to last

get hidden from prying eyes

to create our cache of memories!

Oftentimes, particularly in old age,

we pause to recall and relive 

those moments, those feelings...

to touch the fading tapestry 

of a life that was not meant to be!
