Chance Encounters Bringing Back My Lost Smile

#DreamscapeFusion In the midst of my solitude, as I sat at my table, with a cup of warmth in my hand, and the little world out of my window, My mind being empty, travelled far and wide, I found myself soon in the dimly lit streets, I saw a beggar smile after given food to satisfy hunger, His smile was of more worth than a million dollar. I saw a little girl, walking with her father His frowning face turned into the one of relief When his little daughter insisted on buying her a cotton candy It seemed as if her childishness took away his entire stress. I kept on walking further to see some dazzling lights I heard entertaining songs being sung by some street artists, Passers-by stopped and cheered them even when they had to head back home They forgot their deals of life for a while and gave way to a radiant smile on their face They waved their flashlights at the artists that brought a smile on my face as well... As I kept walking, I noticed an old woman sitting on a bench accompanied by immense silence I sat beside her and she instantly smiled at me That smile was neither of happiness nor of content or relief It was the one of not being left alone at a time when you need somebody I suddenly went to my table The very same place where I began A cup of warmth in my hand But a genuine smile on my face, an unknown hope in my heart mingled with a restored happiness.... © Black_Beauty
