A Moment In Time

In that moment his eyes swirled 
with all of the love he held for me;
with every ounce of life that he 
would happily lay down for me

In that moment I felt the covering 
of all the pain I had ever felt;
the vanishing of every tear shed 
through the trials life had dealt

In that moment the wind whispering 
my destiny became a roar;
lifting me from my path riddled 
with obstacles, making me soar

In this moment my heart does 
not hurt; my tears do not sting
Let me live in this moment for 
life; until my requiem they sing

Hi Flo, thanks for your visit and comment on my “The Girl With The Quiet Voice” yes she has read the piece. I wrote it for her after she opened up at a dinner my wife and I hosted. Her reaction is the reason why poets write. Hugs to you dear one.

True love is capable of working wonders, Flo. The intensity of your words reflects the intensity of that special moment. ~ Hope you are keeping well; your absence has not gone unnoticed, and that is what spurred me to check out your posts this morning! Warm regards...take care. // paul
