Only Then

(C) R.L.K.

It is the moment you pause
for poetry, the moment you stop
beneath the fading moon,

the moment the wind sighs,
leaf shadows tremble in new light,
and morning mist hugs the hillside,

the moment to seize a rhyme,
sublime for a time, the moment that soars
like a sparrow twinkling its wings in daring flight.
