A Moment

At first I was distracted, I was surrounded by illusion; Yet once iI over came my doubts there were easy drawn conclusions. I found treasures in the corners, there were pleasures in the rooms; There were joys beyond my measure and the gardens were in bloom. A light would fill the dark, when the dove did spread her wings; There was music in the air and I heard an angel sing. My worries of my destiny were put up in a file; I lived each day expectantly, I was happy all the while. I created pretty pictures with the using of my words; I presented times of better days from everything I heard. It could have been my paradise, or maybe my demise; It was a place I"d never been, where my spirit learned to fly. The old ways overcame me, I never could be still; I'll never know just why I left and I guess I never will. I can hear the angel singing, I see the workings of my art; I smell the fragrance of the flowers and the joys that thrilled my heart. It was such a fleeting moment, That I may never see again; Is everything I ever was, is it what I was back then?
