Thought

Oh silence like that moment on a cloud
Before we step off in a reverie
Oh poignance when you've finished and you've bowed
And you wonder, "Are the whole world's eyes on me?"
Oh beauty like that moment in a trance
Of passing, gloating splendor glowing bright
Oh waiting in that moment when by chance
Some passing miscreant turns out the light
Oh blooming in that moment of ideas
When all the world bursts forth a holy sooth
Oh tender splitting and peeling away fears
When first a soul can see the wholest truth
Oh moments like this great and small and slow
Are what makes this earth a home before we go
