Yes
If I could hold
This moment
I would do it
As well

Outside again
The air is warming
And freeing the world
Of snow

I will go out
Off to work
Mingle with people
Fill with myriad details
The passing hours

Pale white shoulders
Long dark hair

You are beautiful
Beautiful
Beautiful
Beautiful

And when the sun sets
On this day
In the western sky

All I will remember
Is your one
Sideward glance

Depending on how its tossed your way, holding onto that 'sideward glance' can be a healing memory.

"Outside again

~ Yes! Yes! Yes!

"All I will remember
Is your one
Sideward glance"

~ That must have been one memorable glance!

A pleasure to read.

The roots of that familiarity spell the love of reality.

Great stuff!

I remember a "particular" sideward glance, years upon years ago ... my heart still mis-steps with the memory.

I thank you for refreshing that...

wonderful write...

I read this a few days ago and wanted to respond, but literally lacked the words. *S*

But when a poem touches me speechless, I can still applaud. *S*
