Lyric

The air held its breath

Between the light and the warmth

Something began

Without announcing itself

Beneath thinning light

Early colors drifted

Not calling attention

Just existing

Footsteps slowed

Without reason

Time folded softly

Into the street

No signal to stay

No need to rush

Some moments

Arrive already ending

It was beautiful

Because it didn’t last

The shape was perfect

Only once

Like color in motion

Caught by the wind

Reaching its peak

By letting go

The season leaned forward

Windows stayed open

Conversations passed

Slightly out of focus

Nothing dramatic

Nothing wrong

Just the sense

Of timing completed

Seen from a distance

It almost smiled

Not gentle

Not cruel

It was beautiful

Because it moved on

Never asking

To remain

Like light in passing

Across the ground

Fully present

Only once

It was

Beautiful

Because it aligned

Time and distance

For a breath

Like color in motion

Holding the air

Exactly where

It belongs

It was beautiful

Because it stayed

Only long enough

To be known

Like light in passing

Leaving the ground

Unchanged

Yet clear

It was beautiful

The shape was perfect

It was beautiful

The shape was perfect

It was beautiful

The shape was perfect
