Momentum


    This moment is earth in your hands.


    Press your palms together until your life-lines show in its surface,


    giving your sweat to give it shape


    until your fingers make thoughtful furrows with their touch.


    Take this moment, hold it up to the sun


    and sculpt it until it is perfect in the light.


    Make this moment more than untouched soil -


    press it to your chest, roll it, hand to belly,


    This story has been stolen from Royal Road. If you read it on Amazon, please report it


    until it is shaped into a perfect universe.


    With the heat of from your skin it will change,


    add to it, take something away


    keeping it balanced,


    always measuring, juggling its lightness, its weight.


    Hold this moment only to find that you are its clay,


    shifting with each change.


    Feel the comforting presence of palms, fingers


    surrounding you, guiding you to new form,


    giving you yourself over and over again.
