Once in a while..
I met myself after a while
yesterday,
And unlike the while that often pauses to greet you
This was the one that made you pause..and say
"Oh well.. it's been a while."
Where and when..I do not know
A time and place I cannot name..
But there I wanted to remain..
Because within that obscure space and time
Had I paused to greet myself..
And exchange a few warm smiles.
And now I wait..
In hopes that I will retain
The surprise,the worry,the tensed brow and that smile..
Until I make my visit again..
I remain hopeful,
For you see...
I might just pass across that time
When I open an old diary
Flip through it's yellow pages
And read this poem to myself.
That place would I forever seek..
And I wish someone could tell
of that space where you're tensed but smile
And meet yourself once in a while!
