Do you have a moment to spend with me?

Question

Passing

the moments pass
no matter what you do the moments pass

some were soft
and bathed in moonlight

at other times
a child, bare-chested,
fought for honour, slayed the dragon
and slept soundly in his mother-made bed

and there was pain and hurt,
tears flooded the streets of the past
but each time they stopped
leaving the ground dry and clean

and always
the moments pass
no matter what you do the moments pass

but this time
as you lay prostrate and waiting,
mind whirling between fantasy, memory
and hallucination,
they pass profoundly,
each noticed
and mourned

for this time
no matter what you do
no matter how hard you squeeze and grasp
no matter that you’re trying like never before to hold on
the moments pass
‘til soon
there are no more.

and I sit here
time on my hands
strangling the moments
two by two
and yet I have one.. one moment
I have spared for you..

Breath softly and the nectar of life the bitter sweet taste of age mingled with knowledge issues profoundly from this poem. It feels like the poem of the middle age that realise the futility in what this  life has to offer, regardless of achievements won or lost. There must be more to look forward too?This is inspiring and wonderful.

Where ya been for 2 weeks, missed ya.

Beautiful poem, and life moves like a snowball,
the older one gets, the more moments attach and add momentum to the speed in which they pass, then bang, there are no more.

Moments then moments now
all fade away and blend into
where did they go, I don't 
know, they just went never
to return again.

What is more instant then a moment past
