The Unlikely Spark

A spark of love can come unexpectedly. This spark fanned and then spanned decades.

————

Bob worked with both of us and set up a blind date.

A movie, a meal, and a civil conversation would be great.

When I met him, he was handsome and polite.

I was so nervous that I thought I’d take flight.

He looked a bit anxious but was confident.

Our mutual admiration was quite evident.

For months, the spark was flickering.

Miles apart did douse the fire that was dancing.

Years later a photo gave the old flame a chance.

Unfortunately, college got in the way of romance.

We both had changed and needed one another.

Hours of conversation drove us to each other.

The fragrance of lilacs floated ubiquitously.

This season of warmth and joy endured unbrokenly.
