Once in a Blue Moon

Once in a blue moon,
in the midst of pain and helplessness,
life hands us something worth while.
It hands us love.

Love is nothing pure nor simple.
It is a private moment shared,
a wink in the span of the universe.
It keeps us grounded.
It keeps us strong.

It is the reason most have not given up on life.

They wait for that once in a blue moon,
in the midst of their pain and helplessness,
for life to hand them something worth while.

Love.
