As If You Just Walked Into My Life (Free Verse Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

A wedding brought you to my gate
and green-brown I glanced your eyes
as if you do hold the cosmos in their depths
and suddenly my heart jerked in me,
I heard the doves singing their songs of praise,
it was twilight the sun's rays were dim,
above us the night-sky in a darker blue,
un-asked-for there was affection in my heart
as if unplanned you walked into my life,
immediately we talked to each other about poetry
where in you I found a similar soul,
where later I became overwhelmed by hope,
as you did leave indelible impressions on me,
where I believed in love with the trust of a child.
