# A Crystalline Moment

[Intro — almost silent, one delicate kalimba playing isolated crystalline notes; deep warm atmospheric drone slowly emerging; vast spacious reverb; no drums]

A single drop of morning
Holds the color of the sky
A thousand silent miracles
Are passing by

The leaves are turning toward the light
The rivers learn to let things go
And somewhere in the quiet
Something new begins to grow

I watch the world becoming
One breath at a time
Every little imperfection
Drawn in a perfect line

The flowers open slowly
Without asking why
And every living thing remembers
How to bloom, how to die

[Pre-Chorus]

I don't need to hold the moment
I don't need to make it stay
I can feel its beauty deeper
When I let it fade away

[First Crescendo]

In a crystalline moment
Everything is clear
The light becomes the shadow
And the distance disappears

In a crystalline moment
I finally understand
Life is not forever
That's what makes it a miracle

[Instrumental Cycle]

[Verse 2]

The morning keeps unfolding
Though I know the sun will set
The stars will lose their brightness
But I am not afraid of it yet

For every door that closes
Leaves a space for something new
And every ending carries
A beginning passing through

I don't need to stop the river
I don't need to own the rain
I can love the world completely
Knowing nothing stays the same

[Build]

In a crystalline moment
Everything is clear
The light becomes the shadow
And the distance disappears

In a crystalline moment
I finally understand
Life is not forever
That's what makes it a miracle

[Bridge]

So let me be here
While I am here

Let me see the morning
While the morning shines

Let me love the fragile
Let me hold the fleeting
Without closing my hands

[Long atmospheric pause]

Nothing to keep
Nothing to lose

Only this breath
Only this light

[Final Rebirth]

In this crystalline moment
I am everything and small
A spark within the endless
A wave within it all

[Final Crescendo]

In this crystalline moment
I don't need to understand
I can meet the end of all things
With an open heart and open hands

The light keeps moving
The world keeps turning
The river keeps flowing

[Sudden gentle release — kalimbas disappear one by one]

And I...

I am here

[Long silence]

For one crystalline moment

And that is enough.
