Flash Frozen

Flash frozen

in the first tender kiss

Warmed eternally

in loves flush of bliss

Flash frozen

in trauma of hospital wild

Held eternally

with dying first child

Flash frozen

in expanse of freshwater lake

Floating eternally

in summer’s sweet wake

Flash frozen

with grizzly bear in her place

Awestruck eternally

on Alaskan tundra landscape

Flash frozen

atop of stairs, with sisters poised

Awaiting eternally

with Christmas’ anticipatory joy

Flash frozen

in rhythms of poetry pilgrimage

Unending steps eternally

Life force through me, onto page

Flash frozen

in puppy adoption, my tears

Delight swirls eternally

in licks tingling behind ears

Flash frozen

in icy abyss of mountain fall

Universal Love’s rush eternally

in near death experience—mystical ALL

Flash frozen here

in moments of eternal time

Forever moves my 98.6 degree

broken open heart divine
