He caught me, <br />The way children catch snowflakes <br />In the palm of their hands. <br />And for a moment, the world <br />Gave itself to the beautiful sort of silence <br />That accompanies snowstorms <br />As I dance-floated, fell <br />And melted into him. <br />He held me <br />As if welcoming me home <br />From a long journey, <br />The earth falling away beneath us <br />And the sky reaching down <br />To wrap us in <br />The pure white, perfect <br />Nothing-else of that moment. <br />The world disappeared <br />As we disappeared <br />Into the wonder, <br />Becoming in that instance <br />What we will never not be again. <br />If there was anything but him just then <br />I knew nothing of it <br />And I wanted... <br />Nothing more.<br /><br />Christine Austin Cole<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/wonder-and-nothing-more/
