"What Happened"

She came in the ocean of humanity
Running on tiptoes so as not to bother anyone while she could catch her bus
He was lost in the waves trying to know
Where he was, and where to he was going.

She asked him with just two words
Which broke his reverie and suddenly
It seemed like it was someone so close, so much known from eternity behind and ahead
Tapping on the shoulders and asking

"What Happened" --- What Happened !!!
No nothing, but then he turned around
to answer her, she was not around
And gone with her was the closeness of touch

The touch which warmed him to where he was
The two words which picked his hand
And showed him where to he was going as humanity rushed
In and out creating waves in the ocean where they stood

He didnt have words to answer her back
Nor did he get the time, he was lost after all
While she touched and showed him the path
He turned, but then she was gone

In the ocean and waves stayed back the two words
They come back to his ears ever so often
What Happened! What...No Nothing..or Perhaps something Indeed had..
