Every second that
Lasted longer than
A fire’s breath
I thanked God for you
Every moment where
We spent looking at
The stars
I thanked God for you
Touch and laugh
Heart and soul
In the end
We were just a moment
And
I thanked God for you
This poem is directly inspired by the Tuesday Writing Prompt Challenge found here at Go Dog Go Cafe. The prompt this time was “ in the end we were just a moment”. I am working through older prompts to help spark my imagination. Tune in tomorrow to see the new challenge for this week! Photo by Will Svec on Unsplash

During her college years, she took a more serious bent toward writing and started to post on her blog (The Life and Times of a Quirky Character.) Currently, she resides on the East Coast of the United States just north of the country’s capital.
