First Love

Your reflection appears in memory,
visible as iridescent shadow;

harmonizing rhythm in my pulse -
as honest as the sonata

living within heartbeats -
and dreams of faraway songs,

scoring newborn destiny,
like symphony's prelude.

Love entered gracefully
gathered as a breath held . . .

gently,
like dew upon the day.

Cool, slick, jazzy love recalled so, so well by your talented pen, Chetta! Wondrous penning, Gershon
