The Measureless Span
This little we have is a lifetime.
A day in the sun and the dark
is all this little we have.
If we blossomed at the speed of most flowers
hours would be the little we have.
A child is the span of the world,
a person, the whole of its history.
If we could catch just one moment
it would be a moment
that contained all that is or ever will be.
Tell your life-stories to the moon,
tell the world all that you have done
or not done. Name that story,
then watch it disappear
as a whisp of mist in sunlight.
Fiction is timeless.
