Saw him strolling down the street
New orange shoes on crooked feet
Strong steady gait
No frills, no fuss
Glance at his watch
As he runs for the bus.
Saw him at the park
Writing songs in the dark
Training for a run
Waiting for the sun.
Saw him at the coffee shop
Bright eyes looking out
Watching a crazy world
Bustle about.
Saw him at work
By a solitary light
Careful and quick
Every detail just right.
Saw him in the kitchen too
Cooking up a storm
Saw him with his duvet
Snuggling up warm.
Saw him in the morn
Clicking pictures of the dawn
A lean lone star
With an invisible scar.
Saw him in my mind's eye
Toothbrush in hand
Juggling friends and strangers
In a faraway land.
Now see him at the store
Pausing at the door
Turning back to catch my eye
Or perhaps a hint of more?
Laughing eyes
Yes, laughing eyes
That held in them
The blue blue skies
Yes, laughing eyes
Those laughing eyes
Should never never know goodbyes.
Note: will do a series on friends going forward...this one is for a friend who sets the kitchen on fire!
