A Minute's Glimpse

One minute-
60 seconds…
But an insignificant moment in time’s continuum
But enough time to…
Take a glance
At unconditional beauty 
10 seconds
A viewing
A sight of grace
Displayed through such a discrete ambiance   
One of distinction
Of sophistication
20 seconds
Character that symbolizes prosperity
Attitude that portrays purpose
30 seconds…blink
Inspired by the legacies of the past
Driven by the dynasty that encompasses thy heritage
Unfathomable traits
45 seconds
Inviting personality
Embracing conversation
50 seconds
I look away…
55 seconds
Then back again…
Only to discover-
Her looking too
60 seconds…
