In that moment br When awareness collided br With recollection - br The thunderous sound of dust br Burst into and through br The overwhelming, silent pause br That followed br And I swear I heard br A song dancing across br The breathless sky br br My mind raced br Like wild lightning through br A forgotten time br When the stars were all blind br Locked as they were br Behind those reticent doors br Of nighttime br And I sensed awakening br As a dream was freed br In infinite sighs br br I could believe br In the near impossibilities br Tangled up in truth br Escaping the pain of gravity br On invisible wings br Sprouted from the everything br Of before br And I knew then why br The world just seems to br Stop sometimes… br br At sunrisebr br Christine Austin Colebr br
