Moments

Life is about having, in reality, no control over anything.
That idea that we do have control is just an illusion held together
only so long as nothing happens as to shatter the delicate fabric
of the comforting illusion we all create.

In the end I suppose we must all just simply live the best we can
for as long as we follow this path of existence
in this dimension of life;
this interlude in eternity.

And how beautiful, horrible, strange and fascinating it is.
It is the brief moments of brilliant light,
that taste of nirvana,
that makes this stop off point worthwhile.

The little moments.
So few and far between
the endless stretches of the vast desert of here.

Those smallest, most fragile of moments.
In truth, that's all there are.....
