Beauty of the Moment

BETWEEN DARKNESS AND LIGHT
BALANCE IS FLEETING
CONTINUOUSLY FLUID

AS NIGHT GIVES INTO DAY
THE SUN RISES FROM THE HORIZON

THE DIM MORNING LIGHT
CLOUDS OUR VISION
AND FORCES US TO CONSTANTLY
READJUST
TO THE BRIGHTNESS
UNTIL THE MOMENT IS GONE
AND THE SUN RISES
TO FULL ILLUMINATION
LEAVING US DISPLACED
IN OUR DESIRE
FOR BALANCE
AND BEAUTY OF THE MOMENT
