EPIPHANY
© 2015 by Carl Tronco

The moment when our eyes first met
A moment I shall ne’er forget
In that instant was my sight transformed
The vision of my soul restored
For as I gazed upon your face
My focus abruptly changed

Try as I might I could never see
The path that lay in front of me
A future which once seemed opaque
Was mystically unveiled

A window to immortality
Suddenly appeared to me
O sweet epiphany!
My wilderness of uncertainty
Is tamed beneath your gaze

The moment when our lips first met
A moment I shall ne’er forget
The sweetness of your sacred breath
Leaves me poised at heaven’s gate
