He had a solitary facade with calm demeanor,
His restrained thoughts difficult to make sense of.
And yet he had a sparkle in his gaze
And a grin on his lips.
No one would know the mystery behind the
Twinkle in his eyes,
Or the uncertainty behind those smiles.
It was like when life had turned a corner
Or a wish had come true.
When suddenly everything had become different and new.
Like when we’re stuck in a rut
And the cloud opens up and sunlight breaks through.
Or when a lifetime of search for someone is over
And the intensity of two hearts entwined is hard to convey.
As I stretched out my hand
To grasp the feeling of the moment in time,
Like a ‘catcher in the rye’
He gave me a fleeting look
And turned away with an impassable glance,
The grin still adorning his face.
And only the gentle wind echoed
Of what once walked in undying pursuit.
