The Moment (So Few Ever Find)

Tonight was real and also a dream
I was standing by a mountain stream

The mountain peaks covered with snow
Absorbed the moonlight and seemed to glow

The sky was clear and the stars were bright
On this cool and crispy winters night

From behind the trees you did appear
This is why I hold this dream so dear

Suddenly time just froze in place
As the moonlight illuminated your face

You moved with such grace and ease
As though you were one with the breeze
 
As you came closer and our eyes did meet
My love struck heart found a brand new beat

You placed my hands around your waist
Then offered your lips for me to taste

The only music was that of our souls
As we started to dance soft and slow

Some things in life are just meant to be
As I gave my all to you, you gave your all to me

It was magical how everything just felt so right
As our bodies steamed in the frosty night

There was no thinking ahead or looking behind
For we found the moment so few ever find

Now this is "LOVE". Beautifully put. Someone once use to feel this way about me. Though he couldn't express it the way your heart has allowed you to write it. It would've been nice if he could've read this. Wonderfully written, so romantic and loving. You are blessed with a beautiful heart. Keep expressing it, it helps others. Including myself. Thanks MJ!

Dear Michael: This is very romanctic. Nice to know some men are still true romantics. Thanks for reading my poem. It's just that he lives 25 miles from me, and I only see him about 2 times a week, for now. I'm missing him as soon as he leaves me. Much Love, Janice Herzog xoxo

I really enjoyed this poem. I really took in the last part; "there was no thinking ahead or looking behind, for we found the moment so few ever find". That was beautiful. Gladys Marie
