random moments
happen so rare,
when the world
disappears,
inconsequential
to those
innocent,
fleetingly
exchanged
glances,

the broken wings
of time
too
learn to fly,
as they listen
to those
deep conversations,
life discussions
in colors
of the rainbows,
ranging from
the deep earth
to the open sky,

tears revealed
pain shared
without a care,
ends up
toothless
when divided
between two,
smiles flashed
by knowing eyes,
silver linings
to those
grey cloudy
interludes,

jokes cracked
intentionally,
to heal the
cracks that
freshly bleed,
laughed at
in tandem,
the absence
of reasons
never good
enough,
to dispense
with humor,

random moments
just like that
in a random life,
once in a lifetime
linger beyond,
their
serendipitous
occurrence,
shining a light
like a beacon,
giving meaning
to those
moments,
becoming
worth more,
than their
deceptively
seeming,
randomness.
