Mark Strand
How glib we are in stringing the moments of our lives together
Like so many beads
these crystalline moments
These many-faceted drops of time that collect like dew
To then become part of something else
Something bigger
Becoming our life
Each moment is a gift
Wear it well
and that's poetiquejustis
Every day of my life was recorded in your book.
Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed.
Psalm 139:16
