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,

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 :-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! You have an amazing way with words, Judy. And what a lucky lady that woman is...
ReplyDeleteWow! I am impressed. You are a great writer...
ReplyDeleteI 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.
