Today I saw a beautiful woman,
her eyes passed through me like an arrow
and held me in space.
Today I saw a beautiful woman
and everything shattered, fell away
like a cliff succumbing to the oceans depth.
And there she held me in total silence
as though I had been hit by religion,
a spiritual sense of something beautiful.
My eyes surrendered to that silence,
a moments recognition of what lies
ahead, an ephemeral moment
spreading out like a universe.
It was the big bang – crazy, surreal –
a sense that time catches up with events,
as though you sat knowing the stars intent.
And then our souls turned when our eyes looked away
and said “I have waited you understand
because this moment was promised to me
when they promised life.” And now you are the
only woman I can love because I
have only one soul which I gave to you,
gave in that moment of stunned silence.
Today I saw a beautiful woman
and no one knew as I stood there that I
had fallen in love.
