A moment, long ago, so vivid, so utterly vivid.
That tiny moment, in time, when everything in life,
Coalesced to an instant of perfection.

When she laughed and tossed her auburn hair,
Her lovely face, framed in scattered sunshine
Filtered through brilliant, Autumn leaves.

The very air, crisp with a freshness,
Emblazoning the gloriousness of the surrounding
Vaulting, snow clad, high peaks.

This moment, worth more than a year of mundanity,
More than a lifetime of ordinariness.....
Shone with a graceful and unique radiance.

A brilliance, forever remembered, forever treasured.
