A Fleeting Glimpse

A cloaked valley of pending shadows focused my attention on you. A wondrous tower of gentle strength, kissed by the last light of a perfect day.

To this moment, I still don’t understand why I feel such a strong and instant connection to you, as if in a blinding flash you showed me; and I understood love, giving, and gratitude.

I know you weren’t there just for my satisfaction; awe-struck admirers always encompass your subtle beauty. I spent just a single hour gazing at what I could not understand, could not put into words. 

Yet as time passed, I started to let go of what I thought you were. Your truth slowly began to emerge as the whisper of your earthly voice resonated within me, your energy radiated with untold power, and I began to see exactly what lay before me, like an elusive map to all I have ever desired.
