Two cups of hot chamomile tea and a cigarette <br />A young, good looking and attentive waiter <br />who greeted us with a smile <br />as he brought our tea. <br /> <br />I remember the warm, summer, evening <br />that we spent together <br />happily chatting and killing time <br />while gingerly comparing notes. <br /> <br />You candidly revealed your secrets <br />while the soft smoke of your cigarette <br />gently enveloped us in his slow <br />mesmerizing dance of veils. <br /> <br />It's funny how some things stick to your mind <br />the scent of your perfume, the plastic chairs, <br />the white table top... <br />Joyful minutes that are part of a story <br />A shared moment <br />The little girl that I once carried in my arms <br />Now a grown woman.<br /><br />Luz Hanaii<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-shared-moment/
