There Is a Window

There is a window
That opens
Maybe once, maybe twice,
In a lifetime--
Something that doesn't happen
	every day,
Something that is a gift 
From the universe
	of possibility.
When it comes 
We must be ready 
To step through that portal,
Into that world of dreams
	come true,
Into another dimension
Where light and love shines,
And darkness is dispelled.
Then, if with hesitation
We pause too long,
The window will close,
And darkness will descend
To thrust us
Into a pit of regret.
