A chance encounter.
That's all it was.
A busy market,
A question posed,
A passer-by who overheard.
A conversation did ensue-
You walked with me,
I learned from you.
You shared stories of your life;
Gave me a bit of good advice.
We talked something of
The chances of the world:
The good, the tragic,
How the unknowable often occurs.
You encouraged a heart
Sunk in a deep pit
Never guessing how much
He needed it.
You encouraged me
And repolished a dream
That by disillusion had lost its gleam.
This meeting was a ray of pure light
Piercing confused darkness
With clear insight.
I do not know if we shall meet again
But, dear lady, I wish you well.
Though you may not know
How much our chat meant,
I say with certainty
It was time well spent.
