I opened an old book, <br />and out of it <br />fell a four-leaf clover. <br />Was it marking a verse? <br />Saved for posterity? <br /> <br />I surmised that it had been forgotten. <br />And in my conclusion, <br />I realized at last <br />what a haiku moment was. <br /> <br />A moment that came and left... <br />As moments do. <br />To be forgotten then, <br />and perhaps in time <br />returned to you. <br /> <br />The gentle hand <br />that placed the clover <br />between the pages <br />is now gone, <br />along with that precious moment. <br /> <br />Let the moments we share <br />never be forgotten, <br />though they may pass. <br />May they rest well, like the clover, <br />until we meet again. <br />
