Reality Stands Still
a young boy sits on a hardwood floor
contemplatively looking at the window
a slightly parted curtain acts as a conduit
for a ray of sun to shine through
floating dust specs catch his attention
for they appear magical to him
his young mind grasping at the meaning of all this
for today he puts it all together
today God gives him clarity
for Mommy and Daddys words have meaning
deeper than simple commands
he now knows he is human
As he examines his opened palms
wiggles his fingers in unison
finally feeling alive and connected
the world no longer a blur
no more rapid moving images
for today reality stands still
lets a little boy get aboard
peering into the sunlight
mysteries of the universe are opening wide
all in a moments time
A toddler becomes master of time and space
though for only a brief moment
That is eternal
I still remember that day
