Be thou joyous in this moment
sing hallelujah, let it
linger
on your tongue,
sweet and rich as amber honey.
Revel in this moment's song,
dance -face to the sky-
to wind and geese
and
showering leaves.
Exult, give thanks in this moment
bathe in the glory,
baptism of surrender,
communion and last rites
in a sanctuary of earth and sky.
Bid farewell to this moment,
release it with open palms
heart radiant with memory,
aglow
in fading golden light.
