The Hallway

And he looked up from his seat.
Knowing that yet darkness his eyes would meet.
His world was of confusion.
All aspects part of a threatening race.
He was afraid to encounter more seclusion.
One more downfall he could no longer face.

But against all odds, he was mistaken.
His defenses all but broke, leaving him frozen.
Instead, a bright hue caught his attention.
A brilliance, a radiance, a beauty, a face.
Never thinking he would meet such a creation.
A wonder to behold. Glistening in heartfelt rays.

His soul was confused, not knowing what to say.
Elegance so profuse, his mind caught in unmoving state.
He stood and simply smiled.
His world had encountered some new purpose.
He spoke and in grace she replied.
Then and there, he felt a love burn.
