What then are we to do
with all those moments
when the eye stops
the heart
That gesture there, that glint
of beauty going by
And the thought, Who will remember it
if I don’t?
That daub of heaven
on a half-lowered eye-
lid

try to take in and hold the memory

I’m not sure if we are supposed to hold onto these moments, but rather, learn to sit in the presence of it’s beauty. 🌿🌈
