"Just a moment" was something I heard in my mind.
Just a moment is only a fragment of time.
A moment is only one instant, it's fleeting and brief.
Sometimes that instant is joy and sometimes it’s grief.
A moment in time can be quick as a wink, or done in a snap.
It may last much longer, like a well-deserved afternoon nap.
"Just a moment", I’m told by a sound that I hear.
"This thought is recorded for training." says a voice in my ear.
Never let it be said that you choose to have thoughts in your head.
It happens to everyone every so often; it's been said.
Sometimes a thought will linger and spend a whole day.
Some last "Just a moment" then quietly go on their way.
When a moment is happening inside my overworked head,
I pay it no heed, not a thought; I treat it neither with joy nor with dread.
It's only a fragment of time that is passing on through.
It's only "just a moment" and there's nothing else to do.~Jay Olson
