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
