lighting his darkened mind

the things he notices are not
the most obvious
if she was to catch him staring
it would be a rare occurrence
he notices everything
and will not be caught staring
how hard it will be when he
notices the smile lighting
his darkened mind
how long since
who cares
enjoying every moment
not thinking about the next
not staring into all of life’s what ifs
rising then falling back like low tide
exposing stones and sand
admiring the beauty of a new ocean
amazement crazy enough
uttered some words
didn’t even understand what was said
sounded like where did you come from
and it was his thought exactly
was it only his thought
or vice versa not wanting to let go
of the hand as she walks away…
