Life in a moment.

A moment from gone
it all fades away
blurs, thrums,
to the helicopter blades.

Take the moment
remember, question, appreciate
for it may blink out
a moment gone, and gone, and gone

Vibrations, EMT's close
all in a day's work
watching, alert, reaching out
"Are you OK?"

Floating, humming
sedatives in my blood,
not frightened, curious.
This is the moment.

And it's all right,
surprisingly OK,
I've done my thing
and this was going to happen anyway.
