The Moment’s Prose
written by: Jeff Flesch
@FleschJeff
Have you ever lost a love
so close,
it’s left you spinning,
and in need
of a heart to slow?
It’s as if you tucked
this love away
in a blanket,
nestled it with care and kindness,
and, when you went back
to collect your oldness,
you found the blanket empty,
and all that remained was coldness.
You then
wrap yourself in the blanket
that once contained
the love of closeness,
and you feel the warmth
of every breath,
tear, and smile,
that played away
when you last called upon
that love’s controldness.
And,
as a tear falls from the sky,
you realize,
that the love so close,
was only ever meant to be
yours for the moment’s prose.
