I know a kindness in her eyes,
that says I'm alright,
I'm just fine,
I'm in control,
I'm a confident soul who shall not fail,
but put you under a welcoming spell.
I sense a hesitant smile framed by time,
used when curious, used when tired,
used when sipping a vintage wine
whilst recounting days of frivolous guile.
I see an elegant pose, that could be in vogue,
held with precision , refined in composition,
waiting with anticipation for a stranger's reply.
