An attempt
futile or worthwhile,
something only time will tell
The few moments spent
in bringing some moments,
imagined or otherwise, to the page
Trying to beat impermanence
at its game
with words taken
in and out of context,
a horde of travellers
getting on and off a train
Each passing hamlet, a destination
each distant mountain, an invitation
to explore myself
Above all, an attempt
to leave behind this moment
etched in eternity's firmament
to become a poem
with or without a meaning
worth spending moments over
having survived time
and interpretation
at the hands of a reader
trying to live this moment
years later through the writer
who left it suspended
right here
right now
written here and now
