Did We Just Have A Moment?

“The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love and to let it come in”

~Morrie Schwartz

Somewhere between dairy and produce

you discovered the freshness of desire;

after the Brie and before the cilantro,

you felt the stirring.

You weren’t looking,
but still you saw…

that glance,

lasting one nano-second too long

to qualify for casual acceptance.

Between house wares and baking

the shopping trip becomes a mission,

your radar scanning every aisle,

looking for those eyes.

A neophyte in ways of the heart,

yet hard wired all the same,

you leap from cliffs of only-ness

plummeting into passion’s possibilities.

Checking in at the check out line,

your pounding pulse reverberates

through the chambers of

your hungry heart.
