These Are the Moments

Anticipation
Frustration
Anxiety
Reservation

Waiting, subdued, in and out of reality
Surreal, frail, in anothers' hands
Presuming finality

A moment
One moment
Quiet - too quiet
Another moment
The earth pauses.

God works again. And again.
You cry. Cold room, warm hands.
Then -
Voices you recognize.
Quiet. One more
moment.
Looking into our eyes

For the first time.
