Chapter Twenty: That's All It Takes.

I

What nuances, so subtle
Teaches us to presume
That a visage affixed will stay in place
The intensity daily resume

II

That one look, one glance
And so ever more
Enough, to mesmerize
A thousand times more than before
Just then, how it struck me
Such beauty on a profile
I have seen so often
That to me it was hidden for a little while
III

Look you there, blind as a mole
You could not see beyond your tunnel
Or the world as a whole
And when it whispered to me
I replied gladly
And from there
Does my story unfold.
