THIS MOMENT

In the stillness of the night
there is a calmness around my heart,
and then out of love's sight
arises a chance for a new start...

And in this moment in time,
comes the promise of love without fear
and then follows the doubts
along with the first tear.

And moving to the next moment in time,
springs the need to run,
to escape the doubts,
and step outside the sun.

And in this moment in time,
now exists the dark,
as I seek to protect,
he, who offers love part-time.

And in this moment,
Realizing his love is real
Feeling his guiding hands upon,
Experiencing, as I attempt to conceal.
