Eternal Instant

We walked and talked of promising dreams,
envisioning life fulfilled and fair;
designing grand, elaborate schemes.

We danced and romanced throughout the night.
Silent stillness among curtained air,
patient, waiting morn's revealing light.

We kissed and wished that love forever
rely on our unspoken prayer
that grief or strife can never sever.

We knew and grew bold, unhesitant
secured by Gestalt's context, aware
in our steadfast, eternal instant.
