A Moment is Riding Time

A moment is riding time
like a horse over the hill
bringing strength—

A moment is floating through time

like a ship across the sea
bringing wealth—

There is a moment

tossed by a fairy’s whim,
blown forward by her breath,
and carried away to find us.

There is a moment

set aside for you and me,
but it may take awhile
as these things do, my love.

It may take awhile

as these things do.

Our moment is conquering time

like a white flag rising
ending battle—

Our moment is drawing near

like a heart breaking chains
ending restraint—
