The dawn of a new day begins with a breath of air
The breath of air, transforming a feeling into actions
Actions sparking sequences of fateful events.

A rose blossoming in its ideal environment
A plane takes off  pre-dawn
A baker removes the aromatic breads from the oven
A school teacher prepares for her day at school
A fisherman hauls his fresh catch from the boats
A Newspaper is delivered
A Cafe switches on their "Open" sign

Simple events that happen everyday, yet this dawn was different
Although, the events were seemingly innocent.
There was a state of seconds moving slowly
Plans proceeding smoothly.

Children smiling from the misty windows of a bus
Businessmen reading newspapers on a train
Wives bidding their husbands good-bye.
Ships sounding their last horns before undertaking their voyages.

All along my mind was only seconds in this hour of life.
We moved within the circle of events.  We were very close at the strike of twelve, yet so far away at the sixth hour.  We move closer together, then move far away.
I almost wondered why the heart contracted and expanded with every beat.

This morning was my pride, all the events ticked away those precious seconds.  We were to meet around the corner, yet you were the neighborhood within me

This afternoon would be my accomplishments.  We would celebrate and sing our successes. 

This evening would be our anniversary, so much of our time we have spent together and the fruits of our efforts and love are all around us.

These precious seconds in an hour, we stopped time between us and took the time to tender our gardens. 

The hour is nearing its completion, and we have gone the full circle only to be together, seconds in an hour, an hour in a day, a day in a week, a week in a month....still seconds in an hour.  Faith in you is the transition of every second to its sibling second.  This journey we are on to be together seconds in an hour...
