The Moment of Finding
Tis now, alas, the moment of finding hath commenced
For my dreams have revealed the untold secrets
Threads of those days beyond and forever gone
Now tied tightly, bound in the knots of closure
For what has been, now remains as an echo of the past
A sound nearly silent, each passing moment fades
Finding, not discovery, but a moment of validation
The realization that what can be, must certainly be
Happening, still growing, and thriving in positivity
For this day marks a step forward, a step into eternity
History is written on the thick parchment pages
While life is lived in flower fields with golden rays
Hand in hand, heart with heart, souls as one
Lovers sprint eagerly into that world of wonder
Where the fireworks of love shower them with light
Each burst rains down with wonderment and magic
Not a single step matters, but every step matters
Every impression speaks of untold riches
Not of coin, but of emotion, of intimacy, and embrace
Value hath given a meaning new, a meaning true
Oh, how the moment of finding goes beyond depth
Not in this lifetime, shall want be of consideration
Neither barrier nor tangle shall impede progress
Words shall nary be sharpened for unseen combat
Great deeds in the lands of visions and spirits
Now completed, the questions finally given answer
Chains of the endless cycles are forever broken
The hand that moves the universe, certainly working
No curtain nor shroud shall hide the future
All possibilities await, moments reside, time continues
Our story has many chapters, many volumes
Each tale a myriad woven journey of happenings
Fates are for evidence, and connection is certain
That which has been whispered on prevailing winds
Drawing down, gathering near, calling as we sleep
Doors of the past closing, those of the future opening
What was a set of two, now a union called one

I enjoyed reading this. It made me think carefully and I read it again to make sure I hadn’t missed anything! ‘The moment of finding’, not an ending but a beginning it itself, taking us on to the next and making a story – great!
By the way, is the anthology still a possibility? Did you have enough stories to consider?

PS: It seems that suddenly the comments have slowed down a lot, for quite a few of us. I have to admit I haven’t read as much lately but I’m trying to have a good read this week. Maybe it’s because of Spring and making the most of the sudden sunshine and new things (here anyway!).
