Moments In Time Poem by MTHANDAZO SAMAL MKHWANANZI

Life's fragile balance, a delicate dance
Between joy and sorrow, a precarious prance
Hope and heartbreak collide in a single frame
A snapshot of emotions, forever etched in flame

In the blink of an eye, fortunes can shift
From blissful delight to crushing rift
The heart, a canvas, painted with vibrant hue
Yet, in an instant, torn and fractured anew

Memories linger, bittersweet and cold
A reminder of love, now grown old
The ache within, a hollowed space
A longing to turn back time, to a warmer place

Still, we hold on to hope's gentle might
A beacon in darkness, shining with soft light
For even in heartbreak, a glimmer remains
A chance to heal, to love again, to break the chains.
