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....
