The Cadence of a Silent Moment

His eyes sought hers
(Across the room
Through the noisy, cheering crowd)

Her heart knew and waited,
For its beat
Now matched the
Rhythm of his.

The cadence of their
Silent Symphony
stilled the raucous cheer-

Oblivion;
Stark and simple
Drenched that moment.

The turning point was this
The stillest too.
When everything

Into place.

And they?
Into each other.
