Was it just a peek
Through a window
Into what a quiet stormy evening is like
A fleeting glance

A fleeting glance
To be beheld
Never to be seen again

From then on
A memory to be cherised
A thought in the wind

Just like a whisper of smoke
Gliding up into the sky
Lost to the never-ender
In the evening wind

Was it the fleeting glance
Or the sight of what was seen
The memory cherished
The thought held

A fleeting glance
In the blink of an eye
There it was, then it was gone
But what a sight to behold

Till the next one
A flash of light
Maybe a shadow in the night
All in my mind
