Timing Is Everything We walk down the broad streets of a distant town window shopping for things we neither want or need Just having fun being together on a cold and snowy winter afternoon Looking up I catch the eye of a passing stranger Who else could it be but a stranger in this town so far away from our own. Realization and recognition, as I see a face not seen for years That familiar smile intoxicating laugh and sparkling eyes that could blind like the sun Salutations and introductions, questions and laughter then an uncomfortably quiet moment a shared look… and a soft smile And then... goodbye again Looking back... over my shoulder as I walk away again... I wonder..... Never be a carbon copy of anybody...make your own impressions. - ANON. |

Chris~ It is always a smile that crosses my face when I see that you've paid a visit to PiP~ Thank you for the sweet reply on my 'The Poet's Pen'~  This is a poignant piece, Chris~ I know that feeling ...~ I know that feeling~ *Huglets*  ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

I've had two people from my past pop up recently and I too must wonder. Well said! Enjoyed! |

It happens. And then we suddenly realize that too much time has passed and we have nothing to say. Fine writing. Joyce |
