Moments


Welcome to a new feature on my blog:  Magpie Tales

Magpie Tales is a blog site  "...dedicated to the enjoyment of poets and writers, for the purpose of honing their craft, sharing it with like-minded bloggers, and keeping their muses alive and well."

You may not know that I have occasional aspirations to be a Serious Writer and my friend JC introduced me to this blog site which seems like a lot of fun.  Every so often they post a picture to inspire original writings of various forms.  I thought I would give it a try.  If you would like to go to the site and take a look at other people's offerings, CLICK HERE
As always I am a total attention hog so I, as always, look forward to comments or response to all items on my blog so do feel free to comment.  Please.  Seriously--- most of you guys are awfully quiet out there.  At least give me some Beatnik type Snaps, okay?
And now......
Moments

Just a moment
Another ticking of the hands of a ancient clock
Ahead of the Moment Before lay an infinite field of of Possibility
Ahead of the Moment After lay just as many Regrets
What an awful lot of pressure on the One Moment in between
To say the right words
Make the right choice
Offer mercy friendship grace forgiveness joy love
Or anger confusion sadness disapointment
So much riding on that One Moment
And all the rest of your lifetime for the One After
What if
Don't I wish that I could just leave the Moment alone without wondering
What if?
