Moment

October 25, 2007 Leave a comment Go to comments

We pause for a moment,
stifling sound,
tuned to our cycling and
recycling blood,
meshed,
lead-heavy,
drinking breath,
impossibly boundless and still.

Each pulse comes flooding.
We’ve passed here before;
once I heard music,
once there was rain,
once we found shelter,
once we had time.

The seconds are spilling
unbearable sweetness;
moving’s unthinkable,
waiting is pain.
Lost in a minute,
matter and mind
we are moved again.

by K. Cohen

    I love this poem. Such natural rhythm, creating such sweet sadness. Beautiful work, thank you.
