Crossed Eyes

Between smiles and laughter, 
music and fuss, 
their gazes crossed.

And she saw his eyes. 
Those eyes bluer than the sky itself. 
The ones she dreamed of since I was a child.

He looked at her and smiled... 

Both saw the opportunity to live a moment. 
For him, more ephemeral than time and for her...
She crossed her fingers...

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
