And The Door Slams Open

A day — a normal day or so she thought,

Breakfast served in the sun,

Wind ruffling her hair,

The future unknown,

It’s just another day.

**

She smiles at the boredom, the predictability,

It’s just a normal day — until the world tilts,

And the door slams open,

Just like that, everything has changed,

Her world slowly turning upside down.

**

From the corner of her eye she spies his strut,

Her heart stops for a mere second, skips a beat,

And starts racing,

She’s falling;

In a blink of an eye she knows she’ll never be the same.

**

He waltzes past, no idea that she even exists,

Haunting her mind,

Tethering her soul; connecting,

Her chest swells with unbidden emotion,

As her world teeters on the brink.

**

Legs owning the length of the deck,

Confidence screaming from every step,

Glistening in the bright sunlight,

Majestic,

Noble and dripping with wisdom.

**

The world his oyster,

Stealing her heart in seconds,

As he turns his head and makes eye contact,

Two souls shatter,

And the healing begins.

**

He saunters over lazily,

Never breaking eye contact,

Stops, stands and silently waits,

Until she smiles upon his golden head,

As he looks up at her and — purrs.
