LOVE AT FIRST GLANCE
Two of us, frozen in place—in the moment―
one serendipitous moment
Dearest,
From a distance your p r e s e n c e I sense,
gIimpse big brown eyes locked squarely on mine;
wide s m i l e fixes over my face
heart bounds unstopping
I hold your gaze, wishing
not daring to blink
lest you vanish
in a flash, white-
tailing ever
graceful
deeper
i n t o
o u r
woods
g e n t l e
beautiful
