So very rare,
Intimate, and
Lovely, when
Everything stills, and
Nothing interrupts this
Calm, true, and healing quiet.
Eternity touches the temporal, there.

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"

A moment caught in words, you did it.
This is elegant and lucid. Most impressive!
These moments are indeed rare, intimate, and lovely <3
Another impressive and wonderful acrostic, Gabriel! The title and the final line bookended this piece so perfectly! In such a moment of stillness and beauty like the one in your incredible photo the veil feels very thin indeed
I think I might have to get Joe to write my comments.
“ Eternity touches the temporal”- like others have said, it’s a lovely way to phrase it, and contrast the difference between now and everything else. I like how this isn’t crammed full of words, but they’re carefully picked.
Your right, Gabriel. It's rare to find quiet anymore. At least without noise cancelling headphones! This is a lovely poem. I especially loved your final line. I like the idea that there is a hidden plane where the eternal and the temporal meet.
This was so grateful and peaceful!!!❤️❤️💕
Beautiful! "Eternity touches the temporal." Wow, fantastic line! Well done, Gabriel!
"Eternity touches the temporal." Yeah, that's it. Perfect.
Wonderful read.
This is fabulous!😊
Beautiful image of serenity you’ve captured here 🥰
This felt so blissful! Loved your Acrostic!
"Eternity touches the temporal..." This is so beautiful.
