Connections

She looked back,
even as she walked ahead,
smiling at the fascinating snippets,
the timeless delight,
of deeper connections-
firming her resolve,
giving her strength,
the smiles adding to her charm,
overwhelms- a few.

Some had left,
with eyes moist,
she’d bid adieu,
“no regrets”- she said,
for she had lived a life so full,
she treaded on,
marched ahead on her journey,
thinking “someday, I’ll meet those few.”
