I had been cruising Through life Locked in automatic Mesmerized by Inconsequential circumstances And the effort it took Just to get by. I hardly even noticed How flat and tasteless My world had become. Somehow the magnetism The normally draws Opposites together Had vanished. I was ready for a change Just hoping for Something to happen When she popped in. I don't know where She had been hiding, But the moment She entered my life, My world began to spin Just a little bit faster. I checked her out From head to toe In a heartbeat And liked what I saw. It was as if I suddenly awakened And came out of the trance That I had been in. My mind flipped into gear The moment she appeared, Alert to possibilities, Imagining all sorts of things Contemplating her every move. It was her eyes That did me in As I gazed Into their fathomless depths, And took in The essence of her soul. I sensed a playfulness there, A peaceful spirit Fully engaged in life. In that instant I knew All I needed to know, All that was important Except for her name, And that would come later. |
