Suspended in Motion

In the blink of an eye… my eye,

time magnifies one second to infinity…

Suspended in motion, the color of creation intensifies 100 times

And the air assumes the scent of a sea of lilacs.

With the vision of 1000 eyes I see…

Enlightenment…

Within your smile.

My heart beats… no longer the rhythm of remorse,

But the stroke of serenity… and it is a mystery to me…

A smile sanctioning the magnificence that is of God

integrated with the imperfections of humanity.

Nevertheless, I become, but a solitary grain of sand

And your ocean moves me and soothes me with comforting currents, and tropic tides…

To the point of tears…

And then you become the sunshine

Whose sun rays wash the wings of a million rainbow parakeets  in flight.

I can feel it… Rejuvenating my spirit

A breath of fresh air

Like the gentle summer breeze

You fill my lungs with new life

As I inhale…

My spirit screams deliberate delight

Because I perceive the rest of my life

In your eyes.

And then… Time stabilizes

And motion resumes

But my mind lingers on your smile…

And then you approach me

And you say Hello.
