Once In a Lifetime Love

By Lori Lines

Once in a lifetime
something special happens.
It's a miracle 
which cannot be ignored.
It's a miracle that cannot be explained.

For some reason the air 
is filled with a special magic.
Colors are a bright, vibrant hue
which spin dizzily around,
blending into a white light.

The world seems larger
and more beautiful
Hearts sing a melody which
only the soul understands.

The air is filled
with the sound of a thousand trumpets.
Yet, every note of the bird's song
is heard more sweetly than before.
Every dream is fast
becoming a reality.

All is at peace -
the mind with tranquil visions of tomorrow,
the heart with its melodic song,
the soul with its newfound existence.

Yet at the same time, the
world is filled with wild,
vibrating energy.
The blood courses faster.
The mind reels.
The blood is aflame with the touch
of your eyes.
The brush of your hand.

There is a remembering of your essence and a dream of old
that brings me to now.
For I am finally home.
There is but one word to describe this,
it is called love.

That precious gift, which so few find,
and those who do
find it once in a lifetime.
I know this to be true,
for my once in a lifetime
happened the day I met you.
