This Moment

I look out into the ashen fields
I look out and wonder
I wonder if in this moment
This moment when the clouds drift
When the sun touches the horizon
When the ashen fields glow, backlit.

I wonder if in this moment
When I look onto the city below
Where the people pass by in directions unknown
Where the pigeons roost in their steel trees
Where a man whimpers sick and alone in an ally.

I wonder if in this moment
When I look across the limitless sky
With it's growing swells
With it's uncharted depth
With it's abundance of unforgiving life.

I wonder if in this moment
Is is worth it?
And, it is.
