Capturing A Moment

Capturing a Moment

The rain poured against the glass
The flag waved in the cold winter air
As streetlights flooded the room
And cast over us dark shadows of the night

Suddenly in the moment I captured her
Gentle and soft from her life's journey
Sleeping quietly amidst nature's clamor
Resting her thoughts on pillows and dreams

Her breath spoke out in somber tones
Of triumph and pain always surrounded
By the mystery she brought along the way
Of who she really was and how to find her

Parting lips laced with intrigue and desire
Announced her presence to those who could wait
Waiting for the touch of her smile
Like the silent kiss of morning frost
Knocking on the windowpane

Bells ring the alarm of life's wakeup call
And she rises with haste
Her cup is again full of ambition blind and focussed
As she slips the noose of my capture
In the flash of a moment
