Poetry

A Moment

In but a single piece of frozen timeMy eyes beheld a sight that could not beA moment cast forever in sublimeA glimpse of what I’ve always longed to see

I closed my eyes a second to be certainThat on the other side was just as realAs she that I have seen beneath the curtainOf a dream that seemed so perfect and surreal

And when my eyes had opened in returnFrom that unspoken magical domainHer eyes reflected all that I have yearnedWith all the beauty of the falling rain

The light was cast upon her timeless faceThat but the fairest angel could compareAnd I was lost in her enchanted graceIn one amazing solitary stare

For one brief moment all had disappearedAnd we were standing silent and aloneIn but a single moment more sincereThan any I had ever come to know
