In a flash of time, immeasurable Our lives clicked into place More quickly than a blink of an eye A tick of the clock, a strike of a match Infinite possibilities filled the space All the yesterdays were forgotten The rubble cleared away The clutter out the window All the noise, the disarray From the chaos came the clarity Our hearts were longing to hear From tears, struggle and heartache Our song rang out, crystal clear Gone was our tunnel of blackness With no apparent end in sight In its place, illumination A beckoning, shimmering light In a flash of time, immeasurable Our lives clicked into place More quickly than a blink of an eye A tick of the clock, a strike of a match Infinite possibilities filled the space All the tomorrows to be experienced The climbing of mountains higher than high The games, the laughter, the dances All the simple moments as life goes by Deeply knowing and understanding All growth comes with a cost Weaving together, braiding tightly Uncovering slowly, never to be lost With a new resolve we blossom Solidarity the theme A line delightfully blurring Between reality and the dream I am a Life Purpose Coach who specializes in assisting |

The last two lines were most delightful of them all...love is coming through, very clear, distinct, and wonderful! [This message has been edited by Sunshine (edited 06-19-2001).] |

...you have reached inside yourself and described perfectly the moment I pray and hope for...what a marvelous moment suspended in time when that happens...this is beautiful...I love it... |
