~ Aida & Humanity 25 ~
"Mans Search For Meaning"~Viktor E. Frankl

"You have a way with words," she said
As I walked her to her car, after class....
Sitting at the Revue, underneath a brightened purple
awning
Sharing a piece of lemon cake of some sort, I believe
With two cups of cappuccino, amid the nightfall upon the city
Facing the cars and the crowds as they all passed by
Little San Francisco, I would always call it
Diverse in culture, and diverse within many ways
All leading although, unto a very peaceful and vibrant place
A wonderful retreat....
Compared to many of the other things throughout the day!?
Away from the vultures and the jackals, the vipers
And all of 'their' kind; they, the truly blind
Vampires that drain the light....But not all, not all....
Sitting there, with her lovely smile, and the greenest of emerald eyes
A laugh, that sometimes still echoes within my mind
Sharing our thoughts, some cappuccino, a piece of cake and our dreams
Looking back now, upon her shining auburn hair; glistening
Portraits before my eyes, of a unique and precious life ~
"A splash of lime, in mine, please"....
The most innocent and purest of hearts, she held
This young lady, with a soul so profoundly kind
But, so very very lost, within a very lost world!?
Not all though, not all....
"You have a way with words," she said, while sitting at the Revue
Sitting at, sitting at, sitting at...."Aida," was her name ~
"So do you dear, so do you!"
