Intrigued was he
By her quiet laughter
She passed by
Like a flash of lightening
Through his heart.
He followed the disappearing shadow
Not losing sight
Curiosity glimmering in those eyes.
Once she looked back
Their eyes met
“Wait” !!! he cried
Wanting to say something
A knowing smile,
A deliberate pause,
An awkward silence sprung between
a bird flapped its wings
a feather flew down,
dropped light to the ground.
Morning dew sparkled
On the leaf top
Like love born anew…
