Unconsciously we crafted a moment

Where we stopped time for a time

And met each other once again

To resume an  everlasting serenity.

I thought I was merely speaking

Wasted words and actions repeating

Yet as I spoke to the others I could see

You were listening, listening completely to me.

And your listening created a unity

That quietly and ever so gently

Reached out and enveloped me

And when you spoke I too was set free.

And now together in that moment

That passes through both you and me

How could there ever be torment?

In a peace we thought we would never see.

Yet we still have that moment spoken

Though the next was lost through me

Yet that first is always unbroken

As the sun by the sky touches the sea.

And even that moment lasts a second

So short that it demands to be mourned

Having now flowed away to the past

But in its shadow of light a new one is waiting.

So we know there will be another

Which we will fashion together

Whether impossible or difficult

Or greater than before.

So let us craft another moment

Not a minute stilted and still

But a thread between hearts

That flows forward to an everlasting one.
