JUST A MOMENTARY SPARK

JUST A MOMENTARY SPARK 

 

Where are you all now
Where did those seconds go
Words of love
Words of anger
Years that tell
Hope and despair
Care and betrayal
There and never there
Together and apart
Always on my own somehow
What was the sense of passing this way
Where is the soul
That energy
Is it in this thing they call my poetry
Do you hear how gently I sing
Your song
Do you feel my coming mortality
Are you somewhere waiting for me
One sigh to eternity
The gift of illusion
Broken fantasies
Like so many before
Just a momentary spark
Nothing less
Nothing more
