Today
We were all waiting inline
Long queue, a weary line
left to deal with enough patience.
The girl sitting next to me was
Changing seats as one gets called in
At the window. So did I. So, the line was in
Good shape in varying positions.
A nice, funny line creating a caterpillar
Movement. At least I thought so.
The girl and I started talking,
And I was happy that I met her.
People still need people,
quite a true sentence,
Still, it makes a sense.
She had dark hair and
Heavy glasses on, and
That is all I could think of her now
She was the first in line, and then
She got the call
And suddenly a bright smile,
"I’m so glad we met!”
I almost sensed that
I forgot her now, as
I am writing these words
But I felt happy too,
Especially at that moment
Nothing more, nothing less, just a smile
People still need people
quite a true sentence
And I felt grateful inside.
While coming home, I called a taxi
The driver nodded with a full smile
“Muslim?” “Assalamu Alaikum.”
The greetings of peace.
I felt happy for a simple, trivial moment
People still need people in many ways
That sentence entirely made a sense today.
