That Moment

I want to be that moment

in a black and white film

when man pulls woman into his arms

~

I want to be that passion

the lyrics in the love song

that leave you gasping

~

I want to be that instant

when mother sees newborn

and souls embrace

~

I want to be that sigh

as lost wanderer tracks

the sun dripping below ocean

~

I want to be that completion

the final missing piece

of the perfect puzzle

~

I want to be that reason

you sprint back home

to find what was forgotten

~

I want to be that breaking

the mile-marker when runner weeps

and then pushes onward, strengthened

~

I want to be that second

when one first beholds his beloved

and understands she is his answer

~

I want to be that ache

the final line of a love poem

~
