A Moment

Neville


Notice of absence from Neville
If I get the thumbs up tomorrow from my Doc, I hope to be in Miami on Friday for three days before jumping ship and spending three weeks sailing around South America .. Sheesh, what we do to try n get a touch of inspiration eh' .. Take care while I'm away & please forgive any delay in my going quiet for a while .. Hope to return feeling better than I do write at this moment .. AGT's Neville 😎👍

A Moment

 

For a moment time was stilled

And

Became a total irrelevance

 

It was then though

 

As I waited and watched from the sidelines

Like some predatory voyeur

 

That for a moment nothing

Whatsoever seemed to matter

 

Yet in that instant

A hunger came upon me

 

Heavy

 

Like some dark depressive curtain

 

It was then I lost

All sense of direction and purpose

 

It was then

I realised she was lost to me and gone forever

.

          The time when truth hits is often just one moment and you describe the effect so well in this sad little verse - - another heart-tugger Nev. - - but I love your romantic laments.

                  Such an emotive write and it can happen to us all. Treasure each good moment though.

                      • dusk arising

                        Dramatic Neville, very dramatic. Which is exactly what the subject deserves..
                        That is one very well crafted piece. It gets better on successive re-reads too!

                        • Neville

                          Aw gawsh... you got me blushin my friend... am truly appreciative tho sir.. there's nowt like a good blush first thing....... cheers DA
