Magic in a Moment came, poured over a small, wood frame house
Long ago
In a small place
And in that small space, hearts beat secure and life melted in cozy comfort
Time passed, seasons changed, morning sun beamed shining perfection,
Then night came
Summer poured into fall, golden supreme
Evenings masked perfect – not dark, but day not yet gone
Those precise hours spent together in place with souls of a still town
And in that house, love rained down
Steadfast even with the night freight train running upon it
Memories sweetened now by peace and past,
Now miss those barriers against the outside world
Love melted, expanded in the west sun,
Cooled anxiety on a shaded porch
Love within, never knowing that one day would come
And all would be swept away.
