FLEETING MOMENT

It was a fleeting moment that I loved you
I did not know you but I thought I did.
Your words and actions were all new to me
And I thought the sun rose and set in the presence
Of your smile

It was a fleeting moment that I cared to dream of you
I did not know the true nature of your being
I did not know that the world,
No Our Worlds,
Were as distant as Earth is to Pluto
That I could never compare
I could never be your Reality,

All in a fleeting moment
My world came crashing down
Not so much my Heart
But My Hope

Love is filled with Hope ,,,No?
Love caresses our temples and
Kisses our eyelids
Love beckons us to trust and give

All in a fleeting moment
I had to choose once again,
Do I just scorn you for your
Omissions
Or do I ask my Soul inside,
Then.
What is Love?
What is Love
That but for a fleeting moment..
I did.

    beautiful verse, Lina ~ a song we have all sung ~ for moments we do enjoy those fleeting moments of another ~ treasure them still ~ for tho we learn about what we did not know ~ and the tide turns ~ we still lived out our hearts and tasted a sweet fleeting moment …of ourselves in the light of another…you so inspired me with your art and heart…keep going girl! xxx
