How do you measure a moment
Of pure and intense joy
Maybe by the smiles
And laughter at the time
Or is it by the sighs
As the moment passes by
Is it measured like a gem
For quality, not size
Or by the sentiments
Reflected in your eyes
Can such a moment ever be
Stretched into eternity

Well depends.... there are minutes, then one sixtieth is called a second.
Then there are milliseconds... 1000th of a second
 
then microseconds .... 1,000,000th of a second
 
Then Nanoseconds....Pico....well you get the idea

I tried measuring a minute with a ruler once, but I didn't get anywhere with it.

Most romantic...how do you define a kiss, a moment of ecstasy, I don't think anyone can...
 
Well done, enjoyed the read and responses...

Everyone should have moments like these. I like your poem a lot.

On second reading I fear I may have been a little flippant....
so well done, I have tried often to put moments into words, but you did quite a good job.

It is hard to capture the magic of that moment. For me the power reamins in the memory and the emotions it evokes. Those that bring a warm and content feeling with them and leave a smile with you are most precious.

I always think it better to think of moments in terms of an experience rather than a measure of time. This says it very well indeed, Jen.
