Moment To Moment Poem by soren Barrett

Moment To Moment

Rating: 5.0


Dancing on a razor's edge
Precariously balanced
Over an abyss
No way back
No way forward
Luck a weak friend
Time a powerful enemy
The thrill of fear
Exhausting body and soul
No hope
No choice
Only the next step
To preserve
what is

" Time a powerful enemy // Exhausting body and soul " this is exactly what Poomthaanam, a great poet of yesteryears in Malayalam meant, when he said, ‘as time ticks ahead, it eats into man's life-span'.
