Love at First Sight!

She was wandering in the yonder valley
Filled with mist and mystic beauty
Searching..looking all over for she knew not what

A Golden ray sprung from the distant horizon
Transforming a dew drop into a momentous diamond thereupon
As the birds chirped gently out of their slumber
She was transfixed in wonder
As a golden red globe rose up to its majesty
Slowly after its night long repose

Flooding the valley with its presence
Lighting everything it touched
How it made a tender bud burgeon and
a crimson rose to open up to let her fragrance loose
How it defined every tree, every leaf , every vein
And gave them all an identity

For without it, all the world
would be obscure in one immense darkness
She fell in love with light that day!
As she realised what she had missed for so long!

( This poem is about a girl who has been blind since birth and
sees her first sunrise the day she gains her eyesight )
