Eternity

We stood it seemed forever,
Under ebony skies,
The sea, like black glass beneath us
Reaching out endlessly for miles.
Wrapped in darkness,
Infinity engulfing us in a place
Where time slowed,
And eternity was born on moments
where time could be counted by the beating of hearts,
And I listened to the sound, sweet music long denied me
Carried by its echoes, floating as though on that open sea
Trusting what I dared not trust before,
The skeptic silenced by a faith I never knew I had,
And reservations were laid aside.
In that moment I could see the world through your eyes,
A place of limitless beauty and wonder,
For one moment it seemed I could touch heaven,
Glimpse it secrets, feel its serenity.
For one moment the world was perfect,
And I was free.
