For a short brief moment
I rode by your side,
Grace brought me to you
And love glued us together.
A brilliance, a warmth, a tender understanding
Unknown to me before.
That was the touch, laughter,
And soul you shared with me.
For a brief moment
You, an eagle among the clouds,
Coupled with me, letting me ride along,
Hanging on your every movement.
We loved, you and I, and
For one brief moment,
I had a glimpse of the Heavens
You sought among Men.
A flash of God's brilliance
Brought you to me,
And took you away.
With these tears, I thank you --
For my love has flown,
And shall not return.
