"This Moment"
Poetry by Michael F. Nyiri
01/02/2009 5:40 a.m. pst

In a moment everything can change
Good can turn to bad
Familiar becomes strange

For the moment all might seem as bliss
No one predicts their moments
Or what becomes of this

Living in this moment doesn't tell what's next
To live within the moment though
Will give us perfect rest

For the moment everything is fine
Breathe deep and relax
No need for sadness or to whine

The moment turns we know not when
It might play through
Or change around the bend

In a moment one can lose a life
A time of greatness
Can turn easily to strife

In a moment one can breathe a sigh
For as the moment passes
Good luck is surely nigh

No one can predict the future
Nobody should dwell in the past
In a moment it all might be different
Or this moment might long truly last
