Impeccable Moment

Will I ever find you?
impeccable moment
Of quiet song
Of silent breeze
With abundant, casual tones of love.
Passing through, as if by routine.

I am convinced, somehow
That I knew you once.
Briefly, truly
I knew you.
evenly, you brought me to life
Guided me ever so gently into an abyss:
Unknown,
Bright, and
Transient.

Now
Piano songs reach out through speaker boxes
Only to convince me, still
That you exist.

What a shame to spend an entire life in search of you.
Only to ache with a distant comfort, that
One day, I will find you
And it will be for a second time;
a familiar encounter with a perfect day.
Of sun and a healthy garden
Of books and lush linens
Dripping with crimson shades of real, undeniable contentment.
Rooms soaked with evening sun,
Smiles coated with laughter,
And a steady, needless passing of time.
Children, a history, a woman
Carefully collected, added together, and brilliantly attached to being alive.

When I sleep at night,
I dream of you.
I wait for you
With a sharpened mind
Carefully cataloguing the days
Believing with the greatest purpose, that all of this
-this world, this randomness -
is merely a colorful, meandering stroll
to and from
the mysterious place where you are.

Until we meet again,
I resign to know you well,
Flawless moment.
