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
