a sunburst
a heart exploding
a tsunami of joy
the radiance of that smile
he shook her hand
a spark of connection/love ignited
from the firmness of that grip
like clinging to a raft
in the tempest
it was a gift from both
to each other
reluctant to let go
she stamps it on her memory
before it pales
floats away with the receding tide
and gives thanks
over and over again
a precious response
something not seen for years
a smile from the heart

before it pales
floats away with the receding tide'.
