A fleeting moment
is soon long gone.

What happened?
Where am I going?
Stop!

I want to get off
this swirling, twirling
roller coaster.

To smell the roses,
to pet a dog,
to watch this sunset
forever.

But I can't --
no one can.

All we can do
is pay attention
to every moment
and appreciate it.

It will never come back,
there is only one now.
