A Fleeting Moment...

It only takes a moment
     to become lost within a moment
that Eternity can never erase
      A fleeting glimpse of serenity
as simple as someone bringing a smile to me
     a laugh so sudden and so free
another look how things might be...
     It only takes a second
for one to wonder where the moment went
     a second chance,
 a sidelong glance and the moments past
     for as we know the seconds pass
never again to return
     but happy memories last forever
and man will always yearn
     to find the hidden fountain,
to climb the highest mountain,
    to have his treasure lie uncounted
but content in knowing that it's there...
