A Nod and Smile in Passing
A million passing faces
on the highway and back roads
a two finger salute from the steering wheel
anonymously passing, never to be known.
Eye contact and a nod or a hello,
passing down the hospital hallway,
in 12 different facilities over 17 years
simply another possibility passed by.
A road passed by, and a wonder
where does that go, as a bicycling child
heads down it at full speed
with a look over his shoulder.
Random chance, or is it fate or destiny,
that set people in our path?
I like to thinks it's free will,
as I like to be in control.
Oh how we may be different,
if we knocked on random doors,
with a smile and conversation,
in a huge sky rise apartment building.
The many combinations,
mind-boggling statistics,
of the paths, we could cross,
yet we are unable, due to time and distance.
