There are occasions

rare moments really

because I have neither the patience

nor creativity,

being a person of opportunity,

A face will illuminate

a spirit unfold

and I can see

just as you saw

just as your soul and touch made it be

that very special reality

that very special sight

Thanks so many years ago

I was in a downtown loft

the unforgettable bright eyes of a young man with a brush

were riveted by the light
