When Did It Happen?

When did it happen?
This thing that changed my life?

When did the sunlight get so much brighter?
Flowers bloom more profusely.

The sea beckons my heart fervently
And the waves crash louder
On the warm sand beneath my feet.

When did the music start sounding so beautiful?
And the words to the songs take on such meaning?

When did the taste and smell of food become
So much more robust and appetizing?

Since when does wine taste so sweet?

When did I become so light
That I feel like I am floating on air?

When did the wind pick up?
Blowing gently through my hair.

When did my eyes start seeing
So many things I never saw before?

Who came along and opened
This beautiful, golden door?

I think I know when it happened,
This thing that changed my life.

In fact, I know the very moment

When I changed my view:
It was the very first time
He said “I love you”….
