Was coming back from work
all tired and spent from the day,
when with a smile on her face
a beautiful stranger passed me by.
It lasted just a few seconds
but my weariness was gone -
for that smile was mercy
the Lord Almighty had shown.
I looked into her eyes
in that moment ephemeral,
and smiled back
wishing that the moment was eternal
That moment had no past, no future
and though it sounds too dramatic -
It was about living in the moment,
God! That moment was magic!
