Moments Come


Moments come,
Moments pass
When the pages in a man's
Heart lie open for all to see.

Man is not so complicated
That God cannot expose
The simple dichotomy
That rules him.

Such a tenuous thread
We hang by,
So far from the opposite
Shore of peace.

So far away
From peace and rest,
So far away
From the spiritual oasis.

Yet one call for help,
One silent gesture,
A single heart beat,
Can reach the next star.

If only lips will part
Breath escaping,
If only seated on mercy
The plea is heard.
