Eternal Is An Instant

I sit      
and absorb this moment        
drink it in      
fill my lungs        
with every breath        
Sadly such instants        
come but      
far too rarely        
where I am      
completely and utterly        
at peace        
where time        
like stars        
in sunlight        
fades away        
and nothing else exists        
except the beautiful now        
       
Until        
the fool I am      
I rationalise        
that this moment        
cannot last forever      
And then        
like that      
the moment’s passed      
       
Still however brief        
or fleeting        
flees that instant        
of epic beauty        
having been        
now forever lasts
