Don't know if this classifies as actual poetry or just a random collection of thoughts, you decide.
"Held in the eternity of a Minute"
- I stand at the timeclock.
Waiting........
"One more minute till I can leave."
We all stand for what seems like hours
as this one minute passes.
Held in the eternity of one minute.
- A boy stares at the girl he loves.
The girl he would give his life for.
They lean in together for the first kiss.
A kiss that would last only "a minute."
Yet to him it never ended.
Held forever in the eternity of one minute.
- One minute you are talking to your best friend.
The next minute he is taken from you,
and all your memories with him throughout both
your lives is captured in that one minute.
The eternity of that one minute.
- As you lay on your bed of death,
Surrounded by all the friends, and family
that have made up many minutes of your life.
You close your eyes, and pass
In "just a minute"
and awake,
In and Eternity of Minutes.

That's amazing, Ely. I got teary-eyed. Very beautiful.
Wow.
We were just talking last night, Fa and I, about how a small, unsuspected moment so often turns your life in a new direction -- sometimes just a phrase or a gesture, something as seemingly insignificant as offering someone a cup of coffee -- and how we almost never recognize the weight God was putting on that small moment until months later.
It's astonishing to think about the Lord's will being so present in our mundane, everyday moments, which is very similar to saying that eternity can be contained in a minute.
Wow, and that's all i can say right now about that.
whoa...that was good! i mean REALLY good...and so true...
