A PERFECT MOMENT
There are perfect moments
That lay hidden and sacred
And a heart in grief will still spend
Remembering the times it bled

My perfect moment is that night
When the moon smiled mischievously
The evening mist sweet and light
And the falling stars sprinkled happily

Softly, softly, I feel you near
With words that hinted of laughter and reverie
Arms reaching with a warmth so dear
Painting the moment, making a memory

And as you held me close
You talked not of love but life's inconsistency
Tweaked (of all things) my little nose
And kissed me with quiet simplicity

In the end, it had been nothing more than
A moment dipped in ephemeral perfection
Fate dealt a different hand
And took away my heart and my passion

But at times, when the stars laughed at night
I recall with fondness and regret
Of a time when love beckoned bright
Of you, in a moment, long ago, and perfect
