Poem Title : At a Glance 059 15/06/2010
At a Glance .
At a glance our tired eyes can see , bird and shrub ,cloud ,a tree ;
flash of wing and blue of sky , and a passing butterfly .
What is this strange gift of sight ? What are eyes that in the light,
can discern with one brief glance , loveliness that can entrance.
Mile on mile of flowing green , rolling roads , the distant scene .
Countries glorious expanse , life and beauty at a glance ?
At a glance we sometimes see , suddenly , too you to me
something in another’s gaze , that unconsciously betrays ,
some thing of the soul that lies , veiled behind a neat disguise.
Love is born , sometimes by chance , in a single moment , at a glance.
