“The moment has passed,”
Says she to him
In that Netflix serial.
But does a moment ever pass
To never return again?
Ain’t life one to keep giving
Second chances,
And what is rebirth
But a chance
To take a shot at life again?
Tut, tut! That’s the whole problem
Ain’t it?
This holding on to moments
Wanting the moment to last
Forever
And even if it does last
What do we hope to find
In that moment
That we think is not there
In some other moment?
This movement of moments
Is after all
God’s way of showing our bewaqoofi
Where we keep missing the Truth
That every moment contains
What any other moment contains.
Know Thyself
