Moments Poem by John Prophet

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.
