Time Is Of The Essence

Acknowledged feelings inside, but they won't be retraced Because in a moment, that's all you have... A split second and you never guessed it would be gone, So you hide...Thinking it'll last forever, And emotions such as happiness, hurt, anger, and love seem so surreal But happened to be the only thing you feel when it's cast upon your soul Forever... was never meant to last... Which is why you only have now, but isn't "now" all you need? Not to satisfy all your needs but to supply them with the right amount of food To feed and humble your heart. Fulfill a small dream, a moment to scream, to collect your thoughts To enjoy ice cream on the couch with family and friends Reminisce on something you were taught Imagining that the world ended right then.... Would you be pleased with your last or would there be something missing? Take advantage of it but never take for granted that moment... Birth is given, a book is written, ideas are born, love is made, liquid prayers flood Smiles appear, hate is created, thoughts are forgotten, a novel is burned and life is taken. In the darkness of a moment... Yearn Strive... Aspire for more than desire But in that same moment Fulfill a broken promise, step forward, be honest Express, invent... Instead of just suggesting become a suggestion Because in a moment... that's all you have A split second.
