Wave of Thought

Wave of Thought
for H.

There's a wave of thought that I'm trying to master,
a way to absorb, surround moments in time.
Preserve the way you're looking at me
The strand of hair over your eye.
It's a glint of blonde, a shine of light
Just over your dark iris.

I don't want to move it.
I love the look you're giving
Trying to see the thing in your eye
But only seeing me.
I love your look.
Wide-eyed and wondering what comes next.

And as I look closer, the strand is separating you
Dividing the glint of your soul that shines from your eyes
into different waves of light.
The different colors that make up the whole of you
And I'm suddenly afraid
that I don't have enough memory to preserve them all.
