One Moment. TAVolgenau 2019
A Moment.
A line between empowered & defiant
Holding within it the tenderness of our gaze
The night calls me sometimes tauntingly,
While sleep escapes, sometimes earnestly
To show me the truth that day hides
It calls deep within my being, like you
It resonates with my darkness, like you
Will you stay with me, for a moment
Of real honesty & if you want, silence
The valley of space there, & between us
Pulling me in, like you
A moment of freefall and endless endings
Ours, there to be chosen
Where we find a way to be suspended
In the warmth between you & I
I stand on the sharpest edge,
Below, the water surges over the rock face
Deep teal and chilling a reminder that
Beautiful can also be destructive like you.
In awe and wonder
I am trapped in these moments. ~ M Salinger
