In One Moment

It happened in a moment
One breathless twinkling, graceful
Stirred by the wonder, the miracle
Erasing all the darkness,
Destroying sorrow,
Bringing hope and heartfelt
Wishes, dreams, feelings
Blessed by the tenderness, 
Sensations so wonderful, so gentle
They felt like the endless waves
Oceans of completion, seas
Silencing the rain, the storms
Ending the gray and bringing hope
In hues of laughter, rays of 
Inspiration, soothing the pain
Exciting sensitivity and creativity,
Awakening the wonders
So alive that heartbeats thunder
Through the tears and fears,
Delighting the moon and stars,
Shimmering with brilliant hopes

It happened and all my broken
Became complete – I became me
More me than I had ever believed
I might be – more me than I 
Had ever been before and more me
Than I could have hoped to know
	It was graceful and pure,
Like joy, elation, euphoria…
Hopelessly lost in the moment, 
The gasping whispers, the sighs, the song
Singing of love more alive than I could
Hope to define – more alive than the passion,
More real than any explanation,
More me – I became more me…
	Than the answers
Revealing my hopes and dreams,
My joys and fears – the tears that fade
Into the past, only leaving a trace of liquid
Like the dew falling against a tender leaf,
Racing toward the most beautiful petals, the flower
A smiling assurance that this LOVE…
Will quiet every doubt, inspire in ways
That the darkest clouds can’t possibly evaporate!

This love – roused in the one moment
When his kiss broke through my doubts,
Sending chills, sparks of wonder…
Through my heart – in that one breathless
Moment, there came assurance…
That this love was my forever and always

This love – would only grow stronger
This love – would soar to the utmost horizons
Bring joy that I had never thought of…

It happened in one moment…
	Love that sings my song in a rhythm
of hope and joy, peace so warm,
wonder that is never wrong,
beauty that simply sings along,
into the night where I discovered the one
who gave me a love so very strong!
