A Face, A Thought, A Dream

by: Eric Fulmer

A face seen from a distance;
A face seen from an arm's length away.
Time slows just a bit
As my mind immortalizes the moment.
For that second, nothing else matters.
All is well.

A thought in a troubling time;
A thought like a life raft.
In it, my mind drifts away
To the refuge it holds.
In that moment, other cares float away.
Relief is found.

A dream that stays with me;
A dream bearing hope.
It waits for me
As a glint of what might be.
For its reckoning, I wait with patience.
Time will tell.

Life at the Moment

So, I've always been the type of person who likes to sum up everything with a quip if possible. The one that keeps coming to mind here lately that seems to generalize my life and the lives of so many people around me is: "The heart does things that the mind cannot understand."

How is it that two opinions can exist so clearly in the same person with no overlap...no similarities whatsoever? What more, which is of the right mindset?
