And Then ...

2005-07-22

And then there are moments like this
where the noise and confusion
from the everyday struggle
come to a hush
And as the sun sets behind the Bay
and the world holds its breath
in anticipation for the night,
a secret, quiet feeling of joy
takes me away.
For a short while we are one
the world and I.
And we move softly
in a silent dance
that has the quality of a memory
made perfect by time.
An instant
where nothing needs to be added
or taken away.
Just right,
like a work of art.
