From the moment he entered the room
I was taken, breathless, and weak
Everyone could see it and feel it
Ever so clearly.
He commanded the room
With just his smile
Ever so brightly.
With the power to win your heart
Ease your mind, and touch you
Ever so gently.
His brown, puppy dog eyes met mine
Pausing for a lingered gaze and a smile
Ever so deeply.
Mesmerized and under his spell
Breathing in tempo with him
And a heart beating to the rhythm
Ever so quickly.
Confident in his element
Raising both hands
With a deep breath, a nod
And then, another smile
So charming, those dimples
Ever so lovely.
Everyone alert, engaged, watching his every move
And with a downward jerk of the head
Gives bounce to those springy brown curls
The orchestra begins with a crash and a boom
Ever so passionately.
I am in love
With the music
The orchestra
And with him
Maestro Gustavo Dudamel
Ever so talented.
