#sunset memory

when the light hits just right,

and in my mind i think,

“i’ll remember this this time.”

and in other small moments

i’m taken back, right to the memory

of the sunset in paris, the cobblestones

in italy, the aquamarine of greece.

it’s in moments like these

i think, “there and then i touched a

consciousness i now have here with me”.

i caught a glimpse of eternity and

somewhere in it, a future sits

me; under a shady tree by the beach

breathing. another moments reprieve.

it’s these small moments
