What's in a moment?

What's in a moment?

A moment gained

A moment lost

A moment forgotten

A high cost

A bird starts to fly

A flower starts to die

A new star in the sky

A burn on the pie

A person starts to cry

A person finds out why

Anew item placed on the shelf to buy

A man shut down their shop with a sigh

What is in a moment?

You've spent many moments in your life

But what is the value of the moment?

Is it given? Or is it chosen?

Is it a space of time which is frozen?

A moment is a platter or plate

The design of is up for debate

But please do not send any hate

If my platter is in a worse or better state

I treasure each moment with my mate

And even the time i attempted to skate

But do not treat my platter like bait

Or i'll be forced to set you straight

Because i treasure each and every date

Whether or not it was my fate

I have chosen to open the gate

Even though i may have been a bit late

To me, my plate is rather ornate

That is what makes a moment to me

Though it is rather difficult to say

The plate moves each and every day

My moments have value

That might not be so clear to you

You do not know my moments

Made up of many components

Only i would ever know

The value which my moments show

I can see the moment

I can hear the moment

I can feel the moment

I can taste the moment

But do I live the moment?
