we have only this time

we have only this time

this single wonderful moment

this lone round of carousel ride

this infinite and unrepeatable fragment of time

  to distil the fine memories in bottles of wind and light 

to keep in our heart every intense gaze

and then stop and wait for dawn embraced you and I

 without saying anything

without saying a word

just wait

wait

and then feel in every niche of our body and soul

a fragile fragment of truth

  perhaps the only one

perhaps the only awareness

  that in this unrepeatable carousel ride

we are allowed to perceive

and that in itself represents the full sense of a lifetime

a truth made up of a few clear words lost in the wind

to feel loved on this earth for a moment, for a little while

to feel loved

on this earth

for single round of carousel ride,

for a fine endless moment, 

and then, come what may
 and good bye........

" Late Fragment

And did you get what

you wanted from this life, even so?

I did.

And what did you want?

To call myself beloved, to feel myself

beloved on the earth."

Raymond Carver
