A steady respect and affection
Was afforded until the day
A daring premise
Alighted hearts 
In an irresistible way

A bright light surrounded
Onlookers observed
Listeners were silenced 
Smile wide-eyed

A weighty burden lifted
The air electrified
All other noise trivial
The only story, now

Sometimes 
- I lament -
The sounds and words
Making sense of them
Float on by
While the sight is
Overwhelming
