Listen to poem:

The fleeting wanting more gaze

Our stranger eyes
met, ever so briefly,
in a wanting more gaze,
that could have so easily
been dismissed, cast aside
and thrown out,
as irrelevant and fleeting.
But, we hung on just long enough
to inspire a meeting,
that grew to a greeting,
and to the everlasting love 
we now share together.
