A Catching Moment


All of the events of my life have pulled me toward this moment in time. The paths that we have walked and the bridges that we have crossed have led us through the events of our life.

We have loved each other in a way unrecognized by any other… a reflex where our lives and thoughts can no longer be distinguished as separate. We have become more one, than two.

Take a moment to peer into the quiet darkness and feel, in the breeze, the kiss of my arms as they surround you in your thoughts. The details of our routines will pass us by and will blow to another season. But, the fullness of my love for you will surround your every moment.

I will be the quiet whisper you hear in the purr of our children as they absorb the warmth of your breast. I will be the comfort you feel in the dawn in that instant before you are aware of consciousness.

I will be in the sound of your heartbeat when you hear the movement of your breath in the darkness. When we are old and you think that my love has faded… I will be the spark of light that throws itself upon you from the eyes of our offspring.

In a catching moment, when I can feel you in my daydreams, I inhale the air to hold the flashing memories for just a moment longer and am saddened by the necessity to exhale.

I will be there when you take a moment to seek out the quiet as you peer into the memory of your soul.
