Just before the dawn

It was just a moment,
but we could not foresee
that our time together here
would be so brief.

It was not long enough.
How were we to see?
We could not have even known it
that you were stepping into eternity.

It was just a moment.
We had no way of knowing,
you were not going
to stay here with me.

Now, sometimes just before the dawn,
I think I actually can see
you turning in my direction
saying, “Come on! Catch up with me!”

But I know I must be content
with the time you shared with me.
For I’ll always know that
our romance will always be.

If even for a moment
we were in love and shared it.
It will last forever in my mind
and I’ll see you again some day.

This work was inspired by the poem Just before the dawn of two lives shared for just a moment and the memories that are left behind by separation. When we have lost someone, sometimes we can almost see them in the brief hours just before the dawn. Our thoughts of them and memories seem the strongest when we are alone. In our longings to hold them one more time, we reach out in the depths of dreams touching them at least in the hidden recesses of our mind.
