Moment

Maybe only once in life
somebody comes
that halts your world
at the moment that you meet,

where how she looks, the way
that she looks at you,
the sound of her voice,
the words that she does say

makes that moment perfect
and through the commonplace
a magic moment unfolds
that a person will maybe
remember for the rest of life.

[Reference: "Moment" by die Dutch poet Jean Pierre Rawie.]
