One Moment Beyond Time

Silently listening to your heartbeat,

I rest my head on your chest so neat.

Heaven lives in every rhythm I hear,

As if my name is whispered there.

If the world were to end without a sign,

No tomorrow, no borrowed time,

I would ask for nothing more to be—

Just one still moment… you and me.

Let the skies fall, let stars collide,

Let oceans rise with restless tide,

I wouldn’t run, I wouldn’t flee,

If your arms are wrapped around me.

For in that second, calm and deep,

Where love is all we choose to keep,

I wouldn’t wish for time to cease—

I’d wish that moment never leaves.

Let the world fade, let time stand still,

Let silence speak what words never will…

Not an end, but a truth I see—

I would live forever… in that moment with thee.
