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.
