To hold a moment

To hold a moment
and never let go
defying the future
the ebb and flow
of the next moment
linked to another

To give up the possible
the chance to discover
new things
for the chance to stay in this moment
when nothing is wrong

It would be a hard choice
but the choice is not ours
We live in this flow
adrift without the power
to halt the clock
from marching on.

To farewell each night
and greet each dawn, at will.

So we surrender
and live in the hope
that whatever tomorrow will bring
we are able to endure
