A mind occupied by machinations and schemes,
I was motivated by aspirations of profit and lucre.
Consumed with ideas and fixated on pointless daydreams,
My busy mind shook as I laid eyes on her.
/
Like a warm summer breeze dispels dark clouds from the skies,
her very presence seemed enough to inspire.
I felt a kindling of bright hope as I looked in her eyes,
Two joyfully radiant glimmers of grey specked sapphire.
/
My heartbeat checked as I looked across the room.
She looked to be standing there with not a care in the world,
A sharp mind seemingly unfettered by shadow or gloom.
She laid my soul bare as my thudding heart whirled.
/
And yet, somehow, so purposeful - there she still stood.
Together across the expanse of room, our eyes met.
Our eyes spoke as fondly as we could,
And I savored the moment so as not to forget.
/
My whirring mind composes, and my soul’s fretting abates.
It’s not as though my problems have gone away at all.
It’s just – as I admire her beauty and traits,
My biggest problem seems, in comparison, so small.
