When I Saw You There

[free]

You, standing on the beach alone,
smiling, stepping forward
and looking aside.

There you were, right before me,
in that other space of truth,
adding your friends to your life,
presenting your skills.

Seated in my chair, in my room alone,
I jumped overwhelmed with joy,
I went out into the fresh-air space
and looked around,
breathing the silence
of the marvelous night

It's my own failings, but I really couldn't concentrate on the piece after the title and first line had me singing The Beatles' I Saw Her Standing There! But rereading as I hit the pause button on my brain, it's a really elegant little gem.

How could I dance with another? wooooo. I suffered the same complaint but agree with the outcome.
