once in a lifetime

once in a lifetime,
or perhaps twice,
you will see a face
that will stop you
in your tracks

your heart will flutter
drawing up a symphony 
of daydreams filled 
with a perfect love

until your mind brings
you back from the clouds,
and see that fleeting star 
a bit more clearly

  1. Love that first stanza. It happens less and less (for me at least) these days. Nicely done AM 👏

  2. Ha, the clarity of taking a moment to see things in a different light. Sometimes though, we never learn!
