transcendent moments
tear through life
like a bullet
through the brain.
what was
is shattered
lost
gone.
that life
is no more.
new-born
in an instant,
longing for
what was,
regret taking
the joy
from the moment
of blessed loss.
the ordinary deserves
the reverence
and desire
we spend on
the rare instances
of unexplainable
unreachable
undeniable bliss,
bliss we may never
experience again
while we ignore
the possibilities
hiding in plain view
in the most mundane
of our few
remaining days.
