Eternal Is An Instant

I sit    
and absorb this moment      
I 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
