are there enough moments in a lifetime
to love as one could
behave as one should
how many moments are enough
to bring joy to my beloved
to defend and protect
is there enough time left
to begin again
to grow my love
with purpose and design
striving against the shortness of time left
to love without expectation
are there enough moments in a lifetime
the second time around
to merge and bind
to find the ecstasy of oneness
do i possess the courage
to risk the unthinkable
to once more face unflinching
the devastation of loss
the indefinable torment
of removing the life mask
rejecting the safe place of alone
allowing another free access
to who and what i truly am
are there enough moments in a lifetime
