A Moment in Time

Two trains stopped in the middle of the night

On adjacent tracks with windows all alight

He looks across to the woman in the other train

Only a few feet away, separated by window pane

Lovely face, framed by black hair, beautiful eyes

Wondering about her life, what her posture implies

Then she looks at him and sends across a big smile

A beautiful facial expression without guile

A gift from a stranger, he does not expect

And without words the two do connect

Two lonely souls, brought together, yet apart

For only a moment until the trains will depart
