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
~
