She seeks my eye, I am human but for a brief moment; her eyes force me to feel again, to feel her presence, I see her, staring, searching, hoping

Judging not, her eyes reveal her sorrowful past, anguished, no words spoken

Desperate, a homeless wanderer; The ache of her soul frightens me. She turns away; I disconnect, the moment fades, I am free to forget, to move on, to withdraw
