| A Brief Moment As the bullet enters, not yet followed by the sound that it entails, there is a moment brief, and crucial, where a question lies. and in that moment the bullet thinks, but before it can whisper the gun barrel speaks That brief moment when the storm is silenced, the waves calm, the clock keeps a steady beat. That brief moment is enough to send shivers down your spine, to make you thankful for what you have, to set that smile back on your lips. That brief moment filled with calmness, with serenity, with love. Little did they know that when the world is in balance, when hatred takes the day off, peace lies beneath. Every day of our lives is a gift from above, should not be taken for granted, should not be filled with anger. For peace to rule we must drop the shield, remove the mask, pull the curtain. That brief moment can be the trigger that reverses this curse and grasps the reign of peace For a brief moment For a brief moment in time I touched life here Saw the beauty of it all And did not feel alone I saw life A world I am grateful to have known The oceans, the deserts Mountains, plains I held the hands of children Felt the kiss of lovers Learned that the world Was larger than me For a brief moment I rode upon this planet As it circled around the sun And I knew life Would that I could leave it as I knew it So that others could find the wonders here I have When I am gone, Returned to the dust My hope is that The many others here can enjoy it As I have Good and bad It has been a ride of wonders And beauty For a brief moment I stood upon this planet Called it home And saw a beauty words cannot describe Someday, I hope you too will feel A brief moment Free from your pain, and know that you Are loved A brief moment That is all we are here for Let's come together And enjoy it side by side |
