This poem is a picture of the transformative power of words, both for the speaker and the listener. Once inspired by a friends word, I was encouraged to "return good words back to the masses", and create a cycle of inspiration and gratitude, with the call to action at the end to take a deep breath and appreciating the moment. It's a simple but profound message that reminds us of the beauty and fragility of life. Soon it'll be "forever gone." Yes, we have to work and make and effort, yet take a breath to appreciate it. "Don't let this moment pass you by, because it's fleeting and once it's gone, it's gone for good." It's poetic and philosophical all at once.
