One day I moved into your eyes
behind the glass in back of the iris
catching you by surprise.
And it was I who was caught
sucked into your soul
into the stillness
of the eye of that hurricane!
This was no courtship!
No Lake on the Mountain!
You never said a word
or moved - not a flicker of a lash.
This was not seduction!
Worse than that.
In the light waves dancing
I saw you breathe me in with your eyes.
I saw you embrace my beingness
with the wings of your totality
as the rose breath of your heart
moved into mine like
Thunder over the Wind.
I saw in an instant
what you had never expressed
to me or any one else.
And by allowing me to look
you taught me
the meaning of surrender.
Adele Aldridge, 1979
