When I was twelve,
I had this moment
and thought
‘When will this moment go?’
That was ten years ago.

Just last week
I had this moment
and thought
‘Will this moment ever go?’
That was one week ago.

Earlier today
I had this moment
and thought
‘It’s dreadful; this moment will never go.’
That was two hours ago.

And now
There is this moment
and I think
‘When will I find the future that awaits me?’
And a clear answer I can’t see.

But it is coming, I know.
