Glimpse of Heaven

Unexpected. Nearly surrendering hope
And then. . . you walked in.
From the first touch, the first
Deep look, I could feel that -
Nothing would be the same.

Within me, I felt the stirrings of
My soul finding an old friend;
Through the steadfast faith of another
I realized that dreams soon end
Where love just begins.

Love, can it be so easy?
Roses fade and sunsets wilt but love,
It endures. It conquers over everything else
Until all that remains is
Sweet, pure music.

Words fail, yet you already know:
A haunting song that brings the tears,
A moment, a feeling that leaves me longing for
(Dare I say it?) ETERNITY
With you to finally begin.

Love: a modest word that contains
So much. As beautiful as
The fallen snow, as calming as
The sound of summer rain,
It is; overwhelming.

But in the silence,
When I'm just standing with you,
When I can no longer breathe from
The beauty of the unexpected,
That's when I've found My Heaven.
