A Quiet Moment of Beauty
The sun's light slowly rises
to pierce the tempered glass of our window
and splay its soft glowing rays upon your face
to give me a quiet moment of beauty
that's not legislated by clocks nor timeless tides
Though our arms are empty
my eyes hold you in a gentle caress
in our precious world of perpetual dreams
Knowing we will always be warm together
beneath the round skies of tomorrow
where we will walk in comfort
hands held like young lovers under a trembling moon
seeking nothing more than to share years
wearing soft coats of yesterdays filled with jeweled memories
polished by hands of love
Though we shall never pass this way again
we have passed
and in doing understand
we have become a quiet moment of beauty
not legislated by clocks nor timeless tides
