Last to Lasts

If there was ever a feeling

Meant to last more than a moment

More than the hum of nature

Or the crackle of fire

As water hits both the flame and blade of grass

Then I

Will certainly feel

For more than just this moment full

Until I’m not

And moments pass

And the world remains

Just as no mere human moment

Lasts

For us and are feelings, we are not

Even though the world is
