A FIRST GLANCE

a first glance

curiosity

deepening into wonder

descending

into restless agitation

of the heart mind soul

settling into

an encompassing warmth

occasionally flaring

into reckless heat

rippling outward

like the lightest touch

on still liquid

not quite snow

not quite midnight

yet the sharpening 

of senses in cold

the silver glow

of starlight

a first glance

connection
