Those Moments by BJ Parks

When I replay all our life’s
Moments in my mind
I have illusions of order
Of peace and of humans being kind

Of course there are those moments
When I don’t want my memories
Left alone in my mind

That’s when I go for a walk in the
Sweet Texas air conjuring up
Those precious moments
When you were still here

Those moments when
I breathed you in
And I felt I could hold
My breath forever

Those moments when
I could reach over and
Brush your cheek
And your hair

Those moments when
We had those long passionate
Talks about chocolate cake
World peace and
Midsomer Mysteries
Full of suspense

Those moments when
You spoke in poetry
And it made perfect sense

And so many more of those
Moments that show up
when I least expect

When I replay all our life’s
Moments in my mind
It makes me happy and sad
All at the same time
