This moment is as universal
As it is uniquely personal,
It has landed in more than a billion ways
Across the breadth of human experience;
For some it will be a cherished slice of time
That they’ll carry within their hearts forever,
Others will have reasons to remember
This moment, that are not as pleasant,
And some will not detect its passage
As unremarkable as it is –
Yet, beyond the confines of the earth
It is but a single moment,
The same, and yet so different.
