Just A Moment

Just A Moment

It only takes

Just a moment

To be aware

Of every person pausing

For just a moment

At this very moment

Just as 

I am doing

Right now

That's a lot

Of moments needed

All at one time

Without even 

Breaking a sweat

I wonder then

If two moments 

Could connect together

In some un-peculiar way

Even though

These moments

May be 

Very far away

How then 

Can loneliness

Still be justified

If all we need to do

Is focus

On one moment

Be it me 

Or be it you

Now

For the sake of

Just one moment

Let us put 

Our cares aside

And imagine

We are connected

While our minds

Then coincide

Could I jump

Right to the next one

Like we do

With circus rides

As the moments

Keep on coming

To prevent them

Passing by

Do moments

Have an ending

Like the memo's 

That we send

If it doesn't 

Reach the inbox

Will it come back

Broke and bent

I wonder

If a moment 

Has a mom

Or has a dad

That holds them

Really close

When feeling 

Kinda sad

And when it's time

To go to bed

Dad would read 

A momentous tale

Of someone

That's in need

Of Just

A single moment

To give relief

From heavy burden

Pushing down

Upon their scales

But know I think

It be a must

For me to have

One final Moment

Allowing me 

To then adjust

My quickly fading 

Thinking cap

Counting down

Approaching fast

In just a moment

Sleeping sound

My head descends

And gently down 

Upon my cozy pillow
