A moment

The April wind picked up for a second
And fluster through her long soft wavy hair
Her eyes seemed to touch my soul
I was still yet I was moved
I closed my eyes but I was still captivated by her looks
It’s as though she was painted inside my head
My Mona Lisa, my Rembrandt, my Picasso.

The sun constantly hugged by white fluffy clouds
Cast shadows all around, except where she stood,
Kind of a reverse solar eclipse
I looked around many people had stopped, I wouldn’t say to stare
But her radiance drew glances from people passing by
I saw her differently though
Maybe it’s because she allowed me near

Even time for a moment held its breath
As her unhurried steps turned towards me
I looked at the falling leaves that hung in the air in suspense
There was no wind yet each step her hair danced the Paso Doble
Around her shoulders
And still those eyes cast an entrapment glance at me
My heart stopped beating
I could feel her eyes reach into my heart and gently squeeze life
Back into me

She opened her mouth to speak
And a silence fell all around
A hush filled the air, birds stopped singing, the barking dog was silent,
My thoughts were just a whisper
The streaking sunlight rays even seemed to tiptoe around
As not wanting to disturb the moment
I am not sure what she said because all I heard was music
But it’s a moment that you had to be there to witness, a spectacle
There are not enough words to explain.
But that day all the questions to life were answered
And many lost souls found peace………. And so did I
