"It WAS Just A Fantasy ...But..."

A breath pausing moment.

“It WAS Just A Fantasy…But…”

 

Galleries and Farmer’s Markets

Antique Shoppes

Renaissance Fairs

Comic Cons…

and all the untold venues wherever people go,

crowds happen -

on good days and bad…

I hadn’t decided on today yet.

 

The barest glimpse as she knocked me off a wall.

“Oh!” frantic concern, wide eyes -

Emerald eyes… little specs of …nice.

Concern framed by auburn.

Her eyes -

Held me, my total attention.

Existence sort of …twisted.

 

Behind my eyes …DECADES… flew by.

We…

became, grew, paused, then passed.

For an instant her’s showed

…something…

…something…

as well.

 

“I’m so sorry.”

Taking her hand -

I swear there were sparks.

Letting go …was hard.

 

I remembered to breathe.

“I’m alright, accidents happen.”

 

She breathed, then smiled …an enigmatic smile,

then turned and continued on.

 

A good day,

a …wonder… full day.

The sun was in the high heavens

and the birds - the birds

…well, you know how THAT goes.

 

It WAS just a fantasy …but…
