At First Sight

At First Sight


I remember your face that first morning...

your youth worn like a badge upon your sleeve.

I saw you from a distance as I stood there...

drinking you up and swallowing the image.

I remember your face that first morning...

your eyes searching, not seeing, as I approached.

And then you turned, and saw, and smiled,

and blew like a fresh breeze through my soul.

I will always see you as on that first morning...

your youth worn like a badge upon your sleeve,

standing there with expectations unrealized

until you turned and fulfilled all of mine.
