real moments

today held a few special moments
in the sun
when it was OK
and it was easy
to be real
because being real was all that truly mattered
and it was appropriate
it happened in the sun
in the light
in the warmth
where there was life

when the trembling sandals
of a fragile stone
were quiet
and still
and at rest

it was just a few moments
but some days
there are no moments
no sun
no warmth
no life

no moments
to hold a space for another's beauty
when they forget

grace
is when God puts a song
in the mouths
of those who most often don't expect to ever sing again

I read that recently
but it was only today
that I heard the song
