There was a moment
that I raised my head
to yours,
an uncommon
instant
for shy girls.
It was a meeting
of hearts —
one strong.
one reticent.
But your smile was a steadying hand
that reached across divides
of country, persuasion, tomorrows, or names,
and steadied me.
One heart steadying another.
Fleetingly —
and ever present.

From one shy person to another, a very nice expression of vulnerability and hope finding solace in a caring soul. Always look forward to your writing and have never been disappointed!
