MY HEART HAS WON AT LAST: A Peaceful Smile, A Warm Chuckle

In the peak of noon, as I was in worries of the thunder...

My heart saw the breeze.
Almost like a glimpse of a fountain.
My feet stepped onto the guided path,
Guided by my heart, yet guarded by my mind.
I stirred off for a bit, only to find myself in the same room as the same charm yet again.

"Excuse me", I said...
And "I'm sorry" was the response.
"Hello", and you said "Hi".
I smiled while you were frowning.
I knew then that I was wrong.
I whispered my truth into your soft and gentle ears among the crowd, and I apologised...
You smiled.

"Thank you", followed by another "Thank you"...
One time was warmer than the other.
You smiled and chuckled as you looked into my eyes.
And then I knew that my heart had won at last.
And as the clouds filled my soul with cushions...
I made a turn to realise that maybe a path behind feelings isn't so bad after all.
