Conversations...

As a patient onlooker
one silently observes
the converstaion
between two people...
the gradual drift of one
from active reaction
to passive monologue
A mental shift
into another frame
another thought
till each reaches
the satisfaction
one of speech
the other of thought
and both... of feelings.

Sometimes...
In shy eye contact
or uneasy exchange
Some innocent questions
remain
the silent ocnversation filler
maybe time, wind or weather...
or - unknown and irrelevant streets...?

And sometimes...
suddenly mid conversation
in a second of distraction
The starin of thought lost
when mentally
another one holds preference
next moment
forgotten in reflection...
What confused bewilderment!

Converstaions...

Conversations are where things are said and even where things are left unsaid. Anything communicated is a conversation.

Nice blog rich, i think converstion between 2 people is the best when even the silence is comforting.

The awkward silence is something we all dread and experience , you wrote it beautifully.
