Jennifer Kiesling Poet I do not know?

Lost In Thought

I sat in the corner of the bookstore
Laptop open

Swirling paper and ink smells
circled with the coffee flavors

Lost in thought
I see this woman in front of me

I wonder where she has been?
Does she know where she is going?

There is a sadness in her eyes, 
that holds me there
Wondering who and why?

Sometimes I see a flicker 
like a spark before a fire starts
a slight smile
as she seems lost in her own thoughts
I wonder about her life

I look away
yet drawn back for one last look

Swipe of my finger
my screen comes to life

As I begin to type
For it was me I was looking at

Jennifer Kiesling (c) 2017
