an image caught in corner of eye
an image seen in peripheral vision
extending past detecting mere motion
orientation shape in identity visual field
extending into a soul hunger search
for a beloved she long sought soulmate
extending into quest love romantic identity
sought in figure height features personality
mannerisms this life never met still unknown
extending into a passing glance in a passing moment
mind soul search for an elusive unfound heart sought
she passing glimpses may pass pass haunt lifelong
elements of passing glimpse time years decades passing
an elusive soulmate may never be found in but a single lifetime
images love romance bypass
lust transcend into true love
yet elusive ardent love soulmate
love eternal love life searched
for may never be in a lifetime found
two souls never meeting never completing

Brilliant! This reminds me that I can recall, after many decades, experiences and encounters that lasted no more than a few seconds. Yet they have left a profound impression. There are other events that I know robbed me of weeks and months. Much about them, almost all, has faded away.
