Poetry
A Small Moment
In a small moment
Aristotle was conceived,
in another Czar Nicholas
sighed last breath.
In a small moment
man found gravity; a star,
the roundness of the globe.
Small moment paints large
objects in life’s landscape.
Once visited, it has no path,
no address, a place only in time;
where all originates
with no return.
A small moment holds
a snowflake that never melts,
a season that never ends,
an elderly parents hand
that never turns cold.
No clock may measure its duration
nor yardstick measure it length.
It is small only; in time.
