Traveling through a moment....

Inhale deeply
Breeze blowing through my skin.
Let it out.
A moment to reflect within.
A stranger's smile
A road unknown.
A moment where I feel alone.
Welcoming handshakes, exchange of names.
Two separate worlds - for a moment the same.
Some will stay
others will part.
A moment where a friendship starts.
A stranger's kiss
Two hands as one
A moment ended with the morning sun
A glance at new landscapes
A new patch of sky
Each, a moment - diminished with time
Some lasting memories
some quickly fade
No promise of tomorrow. A moment just for today.
Memories unexpected
of places gone and people met
Always a moment - to never forget.

-written by me

Inspired by an Irish guy I met in Dublin who said he would not meet me in France even though he's going to be there at the same time because in his words.... - '' What we are sharing is just a moment. You will have plenty of better moments than this one. So go on your trip and make a million more with new people in new places. If you don't find a better one than this, which I promise you will, come back and find me in Dublin.'

I thought it was an interesting perspective....all that life is...is simply that....just moments put together....new ones start and old ones fade away....
