The Moment

There comes a moment when everything changes
A moment when a shadow steps into the light
Or an errant sunray falls upon a hidden promise
A time when all the tunes take on secret meanings
And every word becomes a symbol for something else.

A glancing moment when all else pales
And the heady fragrance of understanding passes over
Highlighting all the important phrases and erasing all the others.
A time when only the beauty steps up to be noticed
And everything is beautiful.
