Serendipitous Connection
It was a serendipitous encounter
That started with a desultory conversation
Where beans are brewed into liquid gold
With a choice of breakfast, mild, or bold
She was a barista with stories to tell
One might rush to judgement to rashly
Her body pontificating with artistic display
I a curious inquisitor of life’s plot and play
And oh how she drew me in with her tales
Gaining that, you can only know by asking
Subsequently friendship formed between
Two rugged souls, previous paths unseen
Each bearing their marks a different way
Could’ve missed connecting if not aware
Commonality lies beneath the superficial
Human beings sharing becomes beneficial
It was a quite spontaneous exchange
By chance two travelers connecting so
But when one extends compassion’s hand
The serendipitous can be quite grand

Absolutely right and beautiful,a very beautiful way to meet
A lovely poem and truthful subject. Never judge a book....
it can indeed!
good to read some genuine poetry
for a change
some choice phrasing and imagery:
'That started with a desultory conversation
Where beans are brewed into liquid gold
With a choice of breakfast, mild, or bold
She was a barista with stories to tell'..
thanks for sharing, dear poet
