While I searched for her face fleeting glimpse's into others eyes they somehow know if they look into mine that all is not well As another tried to make small talk to me she could tell something was amiss She proceeded to press me with question I said "why are you so interested"? She replied with a statement and a suggestion "Loosen up" and "Live a little"... and then she saw "it"... she had glimpsed for a brief moment into my soul, as she looked into my eyes. "Oh my" she said with a certain amount of surprise and compassion, I could tell she wished she had met me before "it" and the thought occurred to me my mind was half present, the heart was missing, and maybe on the outside she couldn't see the bleeding but now she pressed on... "Just curious" she said, to which I replied "curiousity killed the cat" As she continued asking questions, made small talk of which I really didn't hear, she leaned over and whispered in my ear "are you ok?" And as I kept looking at the people occupieing this place searching each one for your face, I softly replied..."No" Copyright © -2001 Dennis Hicks All Rights Reserved by Author |

Life has its twists and turns - Some roads are paved - some not... Who's to know if our choices are the best we could make - We often find ourselves wondering if we're OK.. or not OK.. Well done, Dennis... ![]() |
