unconnected moments---Writers Island



Writing about moments is in itself a moment. Any present moment is already a past. Here I write about unconnected moments.

picture unfolds as thoughts behold
unknown forgotten moments;
transient, fleeting past
takes a sudden hold.

‘what’ never gets asked,
‘why’ has been let go-
‘how’ recedes into nothing.

unconnected experiences,
momentarily forsaken-
strangely enriching.

  1. unconnected experiences,
    momentarily forsaken-
    strangely enriching.

    I think I would like lots of those :)

  2. I like this poem. So much can happen in a moment - and you're right, they are so fleeting. Your second stanza says so much...

  5. i see the beauty and the unsung wisdom in your verse,, yet i do believe that every moment in time has made us who we are,, and thus cannot be washed away.... to do so would mean so much wasted time...

  6. I agree that each moment is past before you can experience. Slow down and be the moment.

    A new wrinkle Gautami, if you are signed into gmail, you can't use OpenId. Grrrrrrr.

  9. Moments and memories beautifully tied, and somehow there is the connection amongst the 'unconnected'...

    Thanks.

  14. I wish I was prepared to write now that I'm back but I need to make the rounds. ;)

    How cool you are a Tammy too! I'm really a Tamara but it just never fit.

    It's great to see you are in tip top form. Wonderful words!

    I've missed all of this!

  15. I guess it's easier to remember the moments when you're in it but when it's gone - it's gone. Wonderfully written.

  16. Nice post! I particularly like the phrase 'momentarily forsaken'.

  17. So often we wish we could revisit those moments to connect! Lovely and wise!

  18. Such moments await for our visit once in a while, to get re-connected with the past. Though we could not te-live them, still we can celebrate the moments by reminiscing ~ and oh, the joy it brings!

    I wish you well.

  19. I like this so much, I can't even begin to pick a line or two to praise. This really speaks to me. I'd like to hang it on my wall, in fact.

  26. I really love what this says, and how it says it.

  27. If I could find out how to write so much in so few words I'd bottle it and sell it! Once again, a gem.
