Moments of life

-
Few moments of joy, a few of despair,
A few of longing, a few beyond repair;

That moment of suffocated frustration,
This moment of boundless joy,
Those moments of desperate boredom,
Some moments that even now annoy;

Moments spent dreaming on a bench by the wayside,
Moments of wonder at stars so many,
Moments of elation at that insignificant act of gratitude,
Some moments of madness, moments unlike any;

Few moments are all that remain of life,
Jewels to treasure from years so many,
Priceless diamonds you seldom realise,
till a turn in life when you look back...
Searching frantically for THAT moment, from moments so many.
