The town square was tepid in the early morning light. <br />Tea for two and a squirrel begging for food. <br />Serenity transposed on a single blade of grass. <br />A moment's pause in a possible lifetime. <br />Conversations rounded the trees as the cars <br />started their race to work, school and every place <br />that was not where we were. <br /> <br />Innocent enough, how the words carefully spoken <br />mingled with the changing traffic lights. <br />And something deeper, rising from our <br />mutual but separate ideas of where to go next. <br />The flutter of a bird wing and a heart wishing <br />for more or less the same thing. <br /> <br />At full day break, the moment passed into an <br />eternity of regrets and future sorrows. <br />We rose from our park bench, discarding <br />the now empty cups and walked out of the <br />sunlight wondering what happened and <br />would we ever feel that way again. <br /> <br />For E.C. with gratitude and love<br /><br />mimi brown<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/kiki-3/
