Perfect Moment
People wait for that perfect moment to say or do something
Perfect moments are few and far between
Moments that can touch your heart and soul just come along
Always searching for that right moment for stars to align
Time-tossed beings grasp for the moon
Wondering if a word or a touch could have taken us down a different road
Moments of perfection are the myths our minds create
Stammered sentences or participles wanting to participate
Palms moist with sweat and brow twitched
Anxious of dismissal, we start to fret
Faith in pursuing the moment that isn't just right yet
Not to impose
Not to suppose
Too many words
Too little sounds
Motioning forward
Motioning behind
Just milling about
Whistle of departure blows
This is the moment we all know
Could it be chance?
Or, just opportunity anew?
Maybe, in the end it's just that train whistle that blew
Locomotive of life is pulling out of the station
Race after this imperfect moment without hesitation........
