This is about a single moment in time forever frozen in my mind.
Tonight the sky shines bright with light.
My eyes are lost in space.
The hopes and dreams of things to come, have finally found their place.
The stars the moon, the wind the earth like something from a dream.
Yet here we lay, side by side, alone just you and me.
We talk of life, both present and past, you tell me of Japan.
I sense that you are feeling cold, and gently grab your hand.
It's in this moment, this snapshot of life, I found my place to be.
Together forever under the stars, alone just you and me.
I can remember being in a spot similar to this...Tragically, that moment has long since past and I have nothing but vague memories of the bliss I felt at the time. Im not usually one to enjoy works of such a light hearted nature, but as I read and re-read this poem, I found myself weeping from the pain of loss and with the hope that I would once again recapture the contentment you so beautifully descibed. Bravo.
Beautiful!!! This has such serenity and poise, I felt so calm reading your wonderful verse, so simple and real, there is nothing pretentious about this important moment in your life, I truly wish more people would embrace these moments and identify them as extremely important in the overall scheme of things...
Loved it :-)
When I am confronted by complex emotions, I cannot do another thing until I sit down and write about how I feel. Usually these emotions pour from the tips of my fingers with ease and at once calm me .. more..
