That Moment Before Time

15 April 2000


When I looked into her eyes
my body began to shiver
Such a coldness not felt
but a warmth instead

Deep in our past
was a life that meant
the first was not the last

Far away before time
we had been close before
with a richness beyond being poor

Now time had
encountered our presence
Tomorrow would never
be the same in residence
Life had taken care of that


“To every thing there is a season, and a
time to every purpose under the heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die;”
Ecclesiastes 3: 1-2 KJV
