WINFIELD WORD WEAVING

From across to the room,

I scanned the scene and thankfully saw her there,

she was sitting alone at the counter,

with her beautiful, long curly hair.

 

With a deep breath, I steeled myself,

walking eagerly to meet her at last,

a gentle touch on her shoulder,

my heart pounding so fast.

 

From the very first smile, we chatted and laughed,

an easy ebb and flow,

and I knew from the very first moment,

we both felt a genuine glow.

 

Time just seemed to rip on by,

but the night had just begun,

this woman, next to me, was for real,

my heart thinking she’s the one.

 

Now wait a minute Mr. Heart,

this is cautious Mr. Brain,

you need to slow down just a bit,

else people think you insane.

 

We both inhabit this body,

and we both agreed to go slow,

for we are building a strong foundation,

for a lasting relationship to grow.

 

So no more talk of winning,

this is not some sort of game,

be relaxed and enjoy yourself,

you have so much to gain.

 

You need to learn this person’s story,

and report how your journey wends,

with luck she will be “the one”,

and you will become true friends.
