fleeting

do you know
those moments of clarity
where everything
seems just as it should

you smile
and take it all in
for that moment
that fleeting moment
washing away
in times wake

you are left
standing there
unable to explain
how that just felt
to those
you most wish too
for words
just simply
aren't enough

nothing is adequate
nothing holds the description
of that moment
so that
others
can understand
and feel
what you felt
momentarily
so clear

there are no cameras
no video phones
no laser guided contraptions
that can
or will ever
capture
these moments
because they are only
of the heart
and the soul
and for ourselves
only

try not to fight the moment
or to describe it
or ponder too long upon it
just let it be
feel it wash
over and through
and enjoy the ripples
of the water
as they slowly
fade
