Notes About The Poem

Heraclitus ~ The hidden connection is stronger than the obvious one.

Frozen In the Moment

As I watched her dance in the firelight,
hypnotised by her every move that night.

The intensity of the flames seemed to
illuminate her expressions from her lips
to her hips.

Filled with consternation as she approached 
and acknowledged my gaze,
but fixed was my eyes on her beauty.

Something about the night's background
infused with flames in my peripheral vision
that she seemed to float on air.

Either way, I was no longer in the
physical realm.

Now, my anxiety had turned to utter calmness,
it was as though our spirits had met before!

Frozen in the moment, I watched,
I saw before me a kindred soul.

All that existed was this new-founded
connection.

Beautiful expressions in every word penned W.W. Soul connections are so important in life. Without them where would we be? I believe the soul paves a path to reality, enjoyed every word penned. thank you for sharing.

When you find the kindred soul, all you can know at that moment is the new-found connection; nothing else matters. Well done, my friend! Profound and beautifully written.
