A Moment In Passing

She smiled at me, as I walked by. “Morning” Said I, catching a glimpse of troublesome torment riding the surface of her expression, while “Lacklustre eyes” In a flash cried out in need of assistance. But “Who am I, just a stranger- ah! Maybe her problems are too personal for those close to her?” “Or could it be just another opinion that she desires from one not related to her needs?” But alas a fraction too late, our nearness slips by within a moment, her “Eau De Cologne” Lost to the wind, strangers once more! © Harry J Horsman 2010

Sometimes someone can leave a lasting impression though the encounter is very brief. I remember the kindness of a stranger l encountered 45 years ago and will never meet again. You are wonderful at revealing the power of a smile. A gem to read Harry. Congrats on this poem being featured.

wow, how cool for you to notice so much in passing of a stranger. If you truly are that way, you are a very sensitive soul. Good one. and you even noticed her type of perfume!!

There are moments like these when we seem to have a chance to make a connection and help someone. Harry, after reading this I will always remember that chance is precious and should be heeded. Very enlightening. If we can make a difference, why delay action? Well done! Love, Carolyn
