Certain Times

There are certain times
when all things come gracefully to your plate:
The overwhelming gratitude
climaxes
and the opportunities
seem endless.

There are certain times when everything
you know pauses
and you and your comrades in spirit
take a slow jaunt through
The length of one moment;
purposely, like sponges absorbing life.
Moving quietly behind
your own heartbeats
while finding blessing
in every breath;
inhaling the magnitude of the human experience.

This is one of those times.
