In just an instant
All that we thought we knew
Changed
With a single heartbeat
Shared in that instant
Following a gaze
Into the depths of infinity
Into the chasms of love

Unspeakable gift
We’d sought and prayed for
For what seemed an eternity
Hope had ebbed and flow
Glowed and grown dim
But tonight
In a lasting gaze
In piece of paradise
In a wondrous space
The hope that dwindled
Leapt forth in gallant glory
In the instant
Our lips met
In the moment
Our hearts joined
In the brief encounter
Of the dawning bliss of renewal

A renewal of hope
A renewal of love
From an instant of passion
Inspiration’s dawning gift
