A Single Moment

To live in this single moment,
this lightest breath, this softest touch,
to captured by this smallest,
this briefest space of time,
to be fully present, alive,
consumed in this instant alone,
this is truly living.

In this single moment,
a life is just beginning.
In this single moment,
another life is drawing to a close.
Instantaneously:
the realization of a dream,
the loss of everything held dear.

Our lives, a series of defining moments,
strung together by passing time.
Surrender fully to this moment,
because it is not the moment itself,
that defines us,
but how we choose to live in it.
