Prior to Intent

her presence at first sight
an illumination
something I didn’t understand

she stirred imagination

a current ran through my body
and whatever stirred
was beyond comprehension

an angel, perhaps

I watched
as she checked into my life
and disappeared without a word

but she lingered in my mind

a constant stirring

until the next time
when I said hello

Wow. Wish I could think something like that up. I just can't answer the line of inquiry given. Hope you get a win

This resonates so with me, Mike... Hard to tether these 'angels.' Once they flap their wings, just can't keep 'em down on the ground. ~ Gershon
