A flash of the camera
A look from across the room
A feeling of surprise
An unexpected reply

A tip-in at the buzzer
A thought midway through a morning run
A photo finish in the 100m dash
A sigh after a long day
A kind gesture
A breath after swimming underwater
A touch on the shoulder
A memory that has been awakened
A tear of joy (or sorrow)

All moments I want to savor.
