Keep the moment

I have a picture today !

Keep the moment.

So much to see in the world around us;
So much that could fill our hearts and minds
With beauty that removes all other thoughts,
If only for a moment ---

Then I must have as many of those moments
As possible and maybe one day
I will move from one such moment to another one
And I would be fulfilled.

For sure, one cannot see it if we are not looking;
Maybe we can, but that's just the rare occurrence
When God takes pity on our lives
Which have become just another rat race.

So, look, my friend, look for beauty
In colour or words or in a smile
And drink deep of that moment
Before you move to the next!
