Wednesday Love

Wednesday, while waiting
      on a green left arrow
White tall pickup
      In the straight-through lane
      to my right
Handsome man on a cell phone
      beginning a wave.

Wondering
    was it just a gesture
While on the phone?

His animated smiling face
     seemingly
     for the one
     on the other end of the line.
    
His window
     rolled down
     his waving arm
Coming out     
     the window; and
His face lit up.

And it dawned on me.

His wave;
     His phone call;
     Were both for her.

She was here
      crossing
      in her car
      in the intersection.

His hand
     went back into his truck
His hand
      brought up to his lips
      and he kissed
      the inside of
His hand
      pressed it to the windshield
As his head turned
His lips gently smiled
      watching her go by.

I never saw her
But I saw her Loved
Wednesday.

Namaste,

  1. What I like most about this is the fact that you not only witnessed this and had eyes and presence to see this... but it moved you, inspired you. I too, love to see love in action. -Dave :-)

  4. I agree with Dave. You and I are both always touched by the little things we observe. When we want love so badly we relish in all others and their love and the gestures that go with them. This is a brillant observation of a moment in time for two people who will never even know you wrote something so beautiful about their love.
