the first time

the first

taste, or view of anything

magnificent,

sticks

with you

for all your days.

the first time you step

upon the sand

and see the ocean,

the waves.

the first taste of love

knocking

you over.

your belly full of 

something you've never

felt before.

the stars at night, the first

time you really

lay in the summer

grass

and look up

and see

the sparkling lights.

you think it will pass,

but it doesn't,

it lasts.
