'yet heaven's gift'

'yet heaven's gift'                        timothy r gates, 11/16/2013

My heart is caught      
from the first line,
"........Once in a midnight dream"
the Earth and Moon embraced,
time and space were so in awe,
they tried to express
what they observed,
looking at each other
they paused, and said,
"and time stood still."
Shakespeare's Fairies
sang a similar song,
speechless otherwise,
their wit and banter
silenced by such a prayed for,
non-realized,
yet heaven's gift --
An angel leaned over to this Mother
and whispers,
"Have you ever seen such a love?"
She inclines her ear, whispering,
"Yes, one other time."
