Give Me One Moment...

To sit here in the quiet
still...

like an eagle softly gliding...
on a remote wind protected
by mighty mountains

to restore this gift of tranquility
at will... 

To entrench this mindful
yearning...

This heart beckons - in sway
this beating  surreal...

This most rich yet delicate encounter...
beneath my truth I shrill...

This once precious moment...
this pure with gentle reason...

to obey this heart - this silent
command...

This quiet still believes in...
