A Moment of Eternity

To describe meeting you

Is to find words for the impossible

For how do you describe

The sound of a sunrise

Or the scent of water

How can I paint the experience

Of our souls entwining?

____________________

There was no past, present, future

Only your hypnotic hazel eyes

A glimpse of forever

When your gaze met with mine

And I wished away the world

Knowing I required nothing more

Than this feeling of you

____________________

Was it merely seconds

Or eternity inside of that moment

Did the world stop turning then

I can't possibly know

For how do you measure

What is no longer in existence

The illusionary

____________________

You took more than my breath

You lifted the pain buried deep in me

A lifetime of lonely

And diminishing hope

You were the secret chord

I was forever yearning to hear

The melody of us

____________________

I knew not of your charm

Nor of how sweetly you caressed words

I knew not of your laugh

Or admirable strength

And yet I fell so hard

Momentum splitting my life in two

Before you and after

____________________

How can I put to words

The very moment two universes

Wrote chorus, became song?

Momentary magic

Casting a lifelong spell

Our symphony is etched in my heart

And held forevermore
