One Man's Thoughts

We barely remember as one moment passes
From the next that slams into our subconscious
Before it fades off into the distance.
It can feel as if we are on a highway and,
Life is tearing past us.
Thoughts…feelings.
Inhale one moment. Exhale another.
Upon the next inhale, you are two
Moments now past the first breath.
But there never is memory of that first
Breath from the womb, That too is
Beyond the scope of our memory.
And so it goes each day, each month, each year
An inhale, the next an exhale and all that is
Left us is the sense that we must have at least
Breathed during some of those moments because
We are still breathing in this moment
Last moment, new moment, endless cycle of fading moments…
