The Perfect Moment

I was very young, when without my will, There came a moment when time stood still, An instance of awe I cannot explain Imprinted still on my heart and brain. No outward portent of this sudden bliss, No special event to remember this, Yet through the passing of many years, I've recalled that feeling to calm my fears. I was aware without knowing why, Something wonderful had just passed by. Was I softly brushed by an angel's wing, To feel so content in all of my being? I told not a soul what happened that day For I knew no words that would clearly say The wonder it brought when it quietly came That perfect moment that had no name. won hm

What a special moment this was for you to remember it all of your life, Joyce. Perhaps it was a spiritual encounter that left you with this lasting feeling of contentment. I'm a believer in angels. Excellent poem! Love, Carolyn
