This Moment in Time

But for this moment, there is nothing, the past and the future not here,

And as I steal this moment from you, I want you to focus on this moment without fear.

And now, with another moment stolen, what good of this could possibly come,

Is there a chance of enlightenment, or are you to walk away with your mind feeling numb?

For I will soon share some words of my wisdom, that were shared with me in a beautiful song.

I have been lost in a world of hurt, of disenchantment, of self-hatred and rage,

Time that I have lost forever, living trapped in my mind, my own cage.

But moments were shared, with someone that cared, they shared with me their love and their kindness,

I finally opened my heart, and I opened my mind, and I found that life was not timeless.

Our lives are but a continuum of moments, and I will still feel sorrow or sadness,

But if I go back to my start, and reset my heart, I can avoid those moments of madness.

It is kindness, love and compassion, that can forever to help heal our minds,

And in this world of ours, we all need to pause, in our quests just to feel fine.

And now, for all of this time I have stolen, I ask but one thing from you,

Take a moment to pause and share kindness, and you too can feel renewed.
