Moments For just one moment in the weary dayCome, lift your head, and breathe in deepThe fragrance of the earth – red clayThat 'neath the sun may seem to sleep,But harbours in her depth the seeds Of spring and for our kindness pleads. For one brief moment pause, and see the lightThat plays, unwitting, o'er the blades and tinesOf cutlery 'twixt rainbowed bubbles – brightWith childhood memories, where all that shinesIs treasure of the purest kindFrom little games of seek-and-find. Stay! Just a moment stay – and see the face:The lines of care, the furrowed brow of painThat pleads before you now to slow the pace;To take a little time and thereby gainThat fellowship of heart – a balmTo passing years, imparting calm. Seize for yourself a moment in this timeThat stretches spring-to-ancient-winter wideAnd let it fill with wonder and sublimeDelight to be alive. For heav'n may hideIn memories with joy retrievedAnd precious moments thus perceived.

This paints a picture and a half with words, a joy to read.
