Poignancy
One small moment of poignancy
carries more treasure
than a lifetime of moments
of self-involved busy-ness.
It slashes through the cataracts
of the ignorant coil
of self-fascination.
It cuts through the armor
of superficial living,
softens the heart,
clarifies one's View.
It stops the train of
discursive rambling,
rips off the blinders,
broadens the Vision.
Valuable ally.
