Just for a Moment
Over the course of my life
I have experienced moments of wondering.
I have stood the precipice of possibility,
while time stretches into a small infinity.
Endless futures lie in front of me.
Until I choose one to be mine,
solidified, they all exist.
Only for a single moment in time.
I will make a choice. I always do.
The choice is harder when
all my futures are equally intriguing.
They rarely are.
Nevertheless it is nice to know
that for just a moment
I can sit wondering what can be,
in all of those infinite possibilities,
rather than what could have been.
