Life breaks all rules when
I grasp it in my hand
It slips away with ease
Like a million grains of sand
I run so hard to catch up
But it’s always two ahead
I wander lost in the streets
Looking for it’s thread
And then I catch a glimpse
Of it’s brilliance in your eyes
It seems to dance with joy
In the mischief of your smile
What seemed to be impossible
To slow down or understand
Seems happily suspended
In the palm of your hand
So let me pause for a moment
And gaze upon your face
And in your light find life
In all it’s glory and grace
Let me walk in step with you
Even if for just a while
And in your light find love
Let it be my last mile
Elusive Silence
