Meaning....In The Moment

In that moment
She
Turned...
Back now facing him.
Shoulders wilted like a flower
that's seen too much sun...

And time... stood still As
Molecules of sound & light
trickled inside her mind

She felt his eyes on her
Burning his sadness into her back
like small black daggers...
The pain of it all
almost palpable

In that Moment...
There was so much meaning...
There were so many words
floating in the air
you almost couldn't breathe for them.
There were so many questions
He wanted to ask Her...
But the words... got in the way

As he was never one for articulation...
How he now wished he had stolen those flowers
from Mrs. Grays lawn before he came by...

Slowly...
She turned
facing Him
Head tilted slightly to one side.

She was so beautiful
He could barely catch his breath
As he gazed upon her...

Time was still only moving frame by frame
For her though...
She could almost here the water on a fly's wings
near her left ear...
As it had swan dived into her glass on the window sill...

Amazing..
How there is so much Meaning
In a Moment...
As we all struggle
through
One Day...
One Victory
or One Heartbreak at a time

She approached Him
and held her hand to the side of his face...
"Surely... you will find some one else" She
said with a softness and sweetness
That so did not match the Moment...

Yet what could He do...
He smiled and said "Unfortunately for me...there
was never anyone...but you" and with that...
He smiled...cupped her face in his hands for
just a moment...
Then left her.

As she watched him walk down her driveway
and out of her life she pondered if she had done
the right thing...
In that Moment...
She almost doubted what she already knew.
They were never meant to be.

That... was simply that....

Yes...
There is so much meaning ...
In a Moment.
