The Vision [Constanza]

From far away she felt his stare
Upon her face a gentle light
Came to steal her from his sight

"A vision", he said "one so fair"
A gentle ray to light his smile
And make him ponder life awhile

Red ruby lips and golden hair
Spun satin through his fingers weave
Like fable lore and make believe.

A tender moment they could share
To reap the harvest of a kiss
Inside his mind he yearns for this

Has caught him up quite unaware
His breath held fast inside his heart
As dreams burst upward to the stars.
