Momentary Bliss Dismissed

In every life come moments
when you feel lifted
to the mountaintop poised
for sublime revelation.
You know that something
marvelous is at hand,
something transcendent
that will change everything,
that will forge you anew.
You wait breathlessly,
expectantly, and nothing
especially special happens.
Time tick tocks on.
The hallelujahs fade.
The epiphany dissolves
into the casually normal.
You clamber back down
the mountain and reenter
the moments of your life,
the life you live,
the life you have,
the only one you ever will.
The moments that matter.
