For a Moment
In a moment
In the space of a song
in the time of a moment
we can be somewhere
we can feel transported
short of a meteor
or violent revolution
we take our minds
to another dimension
with something
delicate as a melody
harmony
and a rhythm
a lyric scratched out
as inspiration dictates
in the space of
an instant
while the faucet links
and poverty grinds
and we live and die
only to decide
it was
beautiful
if only
for a moment

Up to now Robert ( last stanza ) in my case, that beautiful moment has thankfully been just that,
even if I did/do have to totter among my creators contradictory contrivances on the journey 😁
cheers
