Through your life,

Forever

That one moment,

That never leaves

But lies in quiet ripples,

That flow against your heart

With the joy unbidden,

Those dreams that wait

To know again,

What you knew before

That distillation of everything,

In that moment

Measuring your life,

Against before and after

When the snow flies,

In crystals of perfection

To blanket the sounds,

Of a sleeping world

And you long to awaken,

To see fields of glistening white

In the silent dawn,

To muffle that echo of yesterday
