A Moment in Time

For a moment in time,
On that spring evening
When the sun’s fading light
Was casting shadows
On the green, I thought
I was imagining
Those huge doe eyes
Staring directly at me,
No fear in them, but rather
A sense of curiosity and wonder.
We stared at one another
With equal surprise,
Waiting in the stillness
As songbirds trilled,
And cicadas hummed,
And the scent of magnolia blossoms
Filled the air.
I gently pressed the shutter button
And in that instant, our connection ended.
You leaped into the woods
As trust was broken
And our moment together was recorded.
