Glimpse Poem by Walter Sanson Lotilla

Glimpse

Rating: 5.0


A glimpse...
... too close a second, yet it lingers...
... I wonder why

More often than not...
... a flash, a memory, yet it dwells on...
... again, I do wonder why

No words to utter...
... nor time to await...
... nor voice to discern...
... yet it harbors... unknowingly
... as freely as the wind opts to breeze
... yet it fathoms the very depths... in the heart’s recess

Again a glimpse...
... not a second to count by
... I see a luster that ends not
... to behold anew

... a glimpse of her smile...

... I wonder why...

amazing poem i like the part when you say 'i wonder why' it is because significant things and beauty strike you at a glimpse if they do not strike, they are insignificant we often wonder how these things happen but if we try harder we can't find the right words we only just credit it to fate. beautifully written especially with all the ellipsis, they add drama to your poem
