An arbitrary woman on the street Going the opposite way. Her amber eyes Meet mine as she approaches Bright and penetrating We smile as we ... Uniformly glance at each other No words exchanged between us As she walks past me, into oblivion... She's a beautiful woman with a giraffesque grace Alas! She'll forever remain a mystery And we'll never cross paths again Though I'll always remember... Her cheshire cat smile! Date written: 03/28/2016

There is something very attractive about this casual meeting ! Such smiles are exchanged sometimes without forethought, but might linger long in memory ! Congratulations Edward on your top win !

Well, I had a similar experience once in Singapore where I saw an unbelievably beautiful woman-- it's a kind of magic, isn't it Edward?

Oh, it is indeed, L.J.!:-) I'd love to visit Singapore once in my lifetime. From what I've seen--"the most recent season of "The Bachelor" was shot there--it's a beautiful country!
