STUCK IN A MOMENT

This poem was written by a college friend. It's sad I met him just once in person and he left this with me.

------------------------------------------------------------------

You are looking up to see,
The splendid stars shining down;
Not a twinkle upon the sea,
A still wave, their ripples bound

Feeling the stillness, the cold
of the night, the trees, the wind;
their movements sold
Not a whisper in the dark
More than you, the silence bold

And a butterfly just a little far
pasted in the air, striving for motion
The beauty being in its struggle
waiting for the moment to pass

At last, you look into her eyes
feeling her hand, an everlasting bond
The patience dominating
daring the moment and its highs

Reading an epic,in her eyes,
in a moment,before it ends

Then it passed and she blinked,
in your arms she did sink

The waves roared and so did the trees
The butterfly flew and so did the time
And as you get up to leave, in your mind,
you still sieve
were you better off,
STUCK IN THAT MOMENT!!!!!
