Enkindled

"The very first time that I saw your brown eyes

Your lips said "Hello" and I said "Hi”

I knew right then you were the one…”

I threw a glance in the direction of the sound, scouring the different work stations in a bid to identify the singer.

“But I was caught up in physical attraction.
 But to my satisfaction, baby you were more than just a face…”

Thunderstruck; I listened to the most harmonious a cappella I had ever heard. I was so amazed that for a jiffy I was transfixed.

“And if I ever (ever fall) in love again (again)
I will be sure that the lady is a friend
And if I ever (ever fall) in love so true (true)
I will be sure that the lady's just like you…”

At this point, I subconsciously ogled. What a voice!

When the second verse started, I couldn’t help but croon along. After all, this is one of my all-time favourite ballads and naturally I know the lyrics by heart.

And then he hit the high notes, and, boy oh boy, was I entranced! I had goose bumps all over and in an undertone exclaimed; holy moly!

I observed and listened in awe as he so naturally nailed the song to the very last lyrics. Even Shai would be dazzled!

Amidst all the angst of life most notably that linked to the numerous heartaches; I thought I was numb.

Moreover; my heart acceded to my appeal to take a sabbatical if we were to heal. Hence, we had reinforced our guard.

Nevertheless, this lad so effortlessly splintered all these defenses and aroused a myriad of emotions I had long tucked away. I was charmed to say the least.

He merely had to sing!

Oh for an encore!
