If I was to use all the words
Of all languages
Ever used by poets
Since time began
I’d never be able to describe
That moment
If I was to collect all the masterpieces
Of all the works of art
Ever designed
By man’s imagination
I could never repaint
That moment
If I was to live
All my past, present
And future
In pain, fear, and sorrow
Absorbing the suffering
Of all humanity
Since life began
It’s a price worth paying
To experience
That moment
Thank you for giving me
A taste of paradise on earth
If only for a moment
Thank you for opening a window
In my confined heart
In the here and now
Into eternity and infinity
If only for moment
Thank you
For blessing me with
That moment
