I peered at the waves of people

There, I saw an image of fascination

At first, t'was simply a hallucination.

But came the aroma of actualization.

It blinded me with light.

As the lady sparked bright like the starlight

Her face, lauded by words—ineffable.

As she faced me—heaven was at reach.

A saccharine smile dawned upon me.

Bumped, it came, hit after hit.

People—a many, restrained me.

From seeing such a beauty

Still, I am standing quite clear of understanding.

The lady glanced back.

Her eyes, glistened as the sun hit it

Speechless was I—to have seen a godde

ss with my own eyes.
