the moment (a sequel)

The stars are falling from the sky, sprinkling stardust in our eyes
My nose twitches, but I do not sneeze
They settle, and then disappear
So are the excitement and happiness I accumulate,
tears are dried up, time soothes the frustration,
Answers to my anxiety, not a solution but a response. expected.
Perhaps they are not of worth, and should be remembered not,
for what tomorrow brings, today does not matter.

. . . .

What will tomorrow bring?
I know and do not.
Today, not an investment for tomorrow
Laughter and tears dismissed to be replaced by another kind
They should not be forgotten though, or disappointed by
The fleeting emotions are marked in a diary, written at length
the ink itself fades out. slowly.
The pages may be stored and left to dust,
but maybe tomorrow, I will choose to relive yesterday's emotions
for yesterday's hopes to come alive,
to be laughed and even scorned
But at least for today, they are alive once more, to be felt and to hold
But at least, for the moment.
This moment is treasured
