Just Moments In Time Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Watching senior men and women dancing together to melodies
they have known and grown old with, smiling, laughing, talk-
ing, holding one another.

Finding the closeness to be inviting even though for just
moments in time, slowly keeping time with rhythms and tempos
flowing gently into realms of music.

Making them feel invincible for just a little while, knowing,
each of them, that life will be ending, not knowing when, just holding onto these last few moments together.

Having a short-lived comfort, wishing for more, yet knowing
this may be the last moment today, before eternity steps onto
the stage of their lives and brings them into death's hands.
