Being
•
every second
of every minute
of every hour
of every day
of every week
of every month
of every year
of every decade
of every human life
to have ever been
now is being
or will be
lived
this
is the vast
ever-expanding
human experience
how wondrous
is our brief
moment

The repetition works so well - and what a thought that is that brief moment!

I’ve been gone so long…and glad to be back. I like how in the first stanza you build up in measurements of time to climax to the second stanza….then you leave us with the third, which I think is a poignant ending to your poem. Nice write.

I like how this builds then culminates. Like the tone you’ve created here. Thanks for the read.

and because the experience, along with the universe itself, is still expanding, every moment of now becomes all the more wondrous.
