One sudden glance, and all my world stood still,
As if the stars had paused to learn thy name;
A silent spark obeyed no thought nor will,
Yet set my guarded, quiet heart aflame.
In that brief moment, time forgot to move,
And chance itself seemed written long before;
My eyes, unarmed, surrendered unto love,
A truth they had not dared to trust till now.
No word was spoken, yet my soul had heard
A vow unvoiced, but deep as ancient seas;
The heart knew more than reason ever learned,
And bowed to fate with trembling, sweet unease.
Thus love arrived, unannounced, complete—
A single sight, and life was made replete.
