staring off
into the distance
quiet
a moment to myself
surrounded by people
pre-occupied
shut myself out
everyone on their own
journey
until a child
approaches
just looking ahead
not particularly happy
my face
couldn’t have caused
what he did next
he smiled
with a recognition
the universe speaking
you are alive now
observantly smiling back
feel a wave of energy
magical
in touch with with my inner child
even for only a few seconds
still think about it now
