A Moment

A moment (the full lyric is embedded on the video) A moment just a moment give it a chance let it take you it will guide you and seduce you for a moment will embrace you if you let the moment take a hold and sail across your heart it will engulf you will possess your very soul and then will release you ‘till you can find a moment that will sweep you back to that one place that stayed the wheel of time let two chambers beat as one abolished all space and then flew away a moment, just a moment give it a chance, let it take you . . . The full lyric is embedded on the video. The second part is only slightly different from the first.

I am glad you liked it Heidi and thank you for your kind words. Indeed, this particular piano composition had such a calming and peaceful effect on me, I couldn't help putting lyrics to it.

What a lovely afternoon interlude Anne-Marie! It is so important to take that moment, to distress and appreciate the beauty nature has to offer. The music meshes beautifully with your words. 7 ; )

So good of you to say Tim; I was sincerely hoping they both went 'hand in hand'.

Beautiful Write Anne, we should always try to live in the moment.

Thank you Miraj. Yes, a street sweeper in San Francisco taught me that many years ago. He would talk graciously to everyone around him infusing humor in the conversation, and yet did his work well and with pride. He said he enjoyed 'the moment'.

I often listen to soothing instrumentals like this one. It has such a calming effect. Writing lyrics to this type of music is a gift you have. Thank you for sharing your gift with all of us.

Thank you so much for your comments Lin. I had absolutely no idea until two months ago that I even liked doing this. Life takes you in many different places if you will let it, and some of them are definitely worth exploring.

Anne-Marie, the words were wonderful. Now - the music - what a gift and healing balm. Jesus and I sat down (this Monday I deliberately took time off) and listened to the video clip with celestial scenery and music. thank you again, Anil

Good Morning Anne-Marie. Please take your bow. I have no words for such expression and beauty. The elegance of it all says so much of your soul. Poetry at its finest. It was an honor to read and to hear. Have a wonderful morning and day. Well done entirely and completely. -- smile --

Thank you so much once more for your wonderful words Chris. I should have perhaps put a more uplifting piece given the fact Macron won over Le Pen yesterday (66 to 34) even though we had with the lowest French turnout of 74% (since 1969).
