She was counting on an easy life including love

When the guns went off

Suddenly that cute guy over there didn’t matter

As much as being able to breathe

~

When in an instance we might be cruising the avenue

The slide begins without notice

All we really remember then in a flash

Are the headlights of an SUV and a panicked expression

~

Before the game our thoughts were on victory

Recapping a season of thrills

Until the shots didn’t fall

When the buzzer spoke aloud of closure

~

Everything she touched would turn to gold

If for a moment her eyes might be told

How lovely is a spring flower in full bloom

When hearts become filled with delicate passions

~

At night while the moon became a part of everyone

Soft memory would rekindle breathless

Moments when time would stand still

While souls intermingled and exchanged resource

~

Follow me while the moon remains above the horizon

Our hearts, our passions, our souls deliver elegance
