We Are Moments
But Moments Are Not Us
Moments
Those elusive fragments
Slipping through our fingers
Not meant to be forever
Just tiny excerpts of whom we are
Of the memories and
Vestiges of feelings
Living in perpetuity in our
Hearts and souls
Moments are not forever
Nor are they meant to be
They are simply snippets
That comprise our foreverness
the living cells of our existence
Tiny puzzle pieces of the grandness that
Curates who we are
We are these moments
But moments are not us

Moments, like specks of dust... Beautiful poem!
Nice succinct piece. (I was just rereading something I wrote about our moments not being an end in themselves.)
