amazed...

Reflected in your eyes,
there shimmers a future I
had all but given up on.
One simple flicker of your
captivating smile renewed
my spirit.

A hopeless prayer answered
so unexpectedly now offers
joyful eternity beyond my dreams.

I wonder at our lives so
innocently separate until
such the fateful day on which
our paths collided.

Looking backward, I remain
amazed how deeply this
love has flourished.

Once a soul
crying for an answer in
the din of solidarity now
brims with a hope of
forever and always.
