When

With eyes half shut, blurring in an undercurrent of emotions intermingled with the passage of underlying musings

When all the blinds slant in that one direction that makes the light seem more subtle than it is kind

When time sways more gently than one moment before and feeling is adorned and beckoning softly

When the twists and turns of fate open, sighted, and alive into another realm where dreams once dreamt so very long ago sparkle in the brightest clarity of deeper premontitions come to fruition

When believing and seeing and feeling become more important than knowing it all, standing on ground not so solid as the quicksand of foolish pride and stupidity

When letting go becomes easier than holding on too tightly to the things that must be set free to find the next stepping stone in the journey

When forgiveness is gifted in the transfer from one hand to another in a case of words and lines and music unheard and undefined

When angst and betrayal evaporate into the thinnest oxygentated air of recovery into some other unimaginable nuance of an unreachable tie stronger than any fear

When one day feels like a lifetime in all the intricate ways that it can emerge and become more than the broken and decimated future that was never mean to be more than a reason for comfort

When being in this moment becomes more important than knowing all the answers to all the questions and all the reasons and all the whys

When tender touch is the power of strength and the energy of love and laughter rises above the tears that fall silently in a quiet dawn of restoration

When Pheonix rises the baby with the bright blue eyes whispers a sweet breath of gentle hope and a doorway is opened to a day of equilibrium and peace

A couple of words misspelled, and vague
