In an instant the sparkle showered me Bathed in light and energy Flowing flowing a waterfall of emotion A connection stretching back in time A piercing silence Cloaking me in her calm Her doors had been cast aside Unexpected candor, laughter lilting And bouncing, catching me off guard. She wasn’t hiding behind the bush Or running from tree to tree She stretched the moments Filled them with spirit Flew to the rafters and beckoned me to join I melted in her eyes, molten joy Ready to be molded Precious shapes, rare forms Unknown beings. I trusted her hands Gripped me with delicacy And a lightness of life. That moment became a day And that day will not end.
