Moments

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.

      This reminds me of Camus - those 'moments' are tiny acts of rebellion against life being meaningless
