A Moment

In but a single piece of frozen time
My eyes beheld a sight that could not be
A moment cast forever in sublime
A glimpse of what I’ve always longed to see

I closed my eyes a second to be certain
That on the other side was just as real
As she that I have seen beneath the curtain
Of a dream that seemed so perfect and surreal

And when my eyes had opened in return
From that unspoken magical domain
Her eyes reflected all that I have yearned
With all the beauty of the falling rain

The light was cast upon her timeless face
That but the fairest angel could compare
And I was lost in her enchanted grace
In one amazing solitary stare

For one brief moment all had disappeared
And we were standing silent and alone
In but a single moment more sincere
Than any I had ever come to know
