The Passing

3WWW this week prompt: icy, paus, train

he came and knocked
arriving unexpectedly
opening the door
we both immediately smiled
with flowers in hand
and an invitation

walking briskly
against the icy wind
caused us to pause
in the shadows
of the old barn

pressing close
escaping the bitter cold
our breath caught
in the crisp air

we laughed at the moment
of our predicament
interrupted by the
distant passing train

alone with our thoughts
silence brought us
back to each other
the train now
in the distance

he began speaking slowly
erasing everything
from the past with ease

the wonder of words
felt tender and warm
falling with grace
upon my heart

beneath it all
i wordlessly wondered
what would happen
once we left
the shelter
of this moment

    I really like that. You always wonder if it will be as amazing when you leave that one moment in time behind.
