It was a moment in a moment in a moment

No more, no less

Frail, delicate, subtle like a heartache

But it was there

It touched both of us briefly

And then it left

I tried many times

To capture it

Like a bird each time it escaped

When I spoke about it

It sang noise

When I wrote about it

It flapped its wings and spilled the ink

When I tried to think about it

It escaped into oblivion

It is only when I let it be

It came and sat next to me

Just as she did…
