Being

 

Being

•

every second
of every minute
of every hour
of every day
of every week
of every month
of every year
of every decade
of every human life
to have ever been
now is being
or will be
lived

this
is the vast
ever-expanding
human experience

how wondrous
is our brief
moment

  1. I’ve been gone so long…and glad to be back. I like how in the first stanza you build up in measurements of time to climax to the second stanza….then you leave us with the third, which I think is a poignant ending to your poem. Nice write.
