Instants

.

These fragments of time

Dewdrops in an oasis of a lifetime

Distance, duration and enduring

.

Instants transfixed by memory

Transferred to the mind and brain

These moments of memorizing who

What why when where

.

Life flows on, and episodes blend into episodes

Chapters begin, end, pause;

Instants of grace, intense and fleeting

Love heals all, even by a chance meeting.

Strange sculpture, near Paris

Each time I pass this strange sculpture propping up a balcony in the Parisian region, I wonder at the inspiration behind it. It is very striking indeed.
