Another Moment
A moment behind’s now a mere broken truth
A moment we shared in our curled, broken youth
A leap from a girl striding six years behind
Who favors a man spent embracing her mind
This channel of love’s their conspicuous path
A crime by the hand of fate’s prosperous wrath
They stride on the edge, on the side of the blade
Catching each fault on their silent parade
During this moment of hesitant touch
With fear that a moment too soon’s just too much
They faltered with awe on this newfound terrain
And braided their fingers to steady the rain
Their new sense of certainty braced with their height
That they were each other’s if just for one night
All of the stories of love that she’s heard
She’s now bringing truth to each spirited word
They tread through the waters, propelled by their trust
Fueled by their hope and their hesitant lust
Elongated seconds that last their parade
Let romance imagine the morning’s mislaid
A moment’s a moment, as swift as the last
That seems its eternal ‘till moment has passed
See, time lapses quickly in yesterday’s eye
Only when dawn’s noticed breaking the sky
This channel was warmed by the fire they drew
Blind to their air fire penetrates through
The fire had died when a boulder had neared
When leaped back to land, all the warmth disappeared
A moment’s a moment, the best she has known
Now, free from the moment, she feels so alone
Without fire’s fever to cradle her high
She sinks to the concrete, suppressing her cry
The moment that’s passed is now carved into stone
A memory kept to not feel so alone
Through written words, where their romance is sworn
To wait for the rekindled moment reborn
