“Oh, it’s nothing
I wish I could hide that.”

Hearing him in the other room
Downplaying an achievement.
It made me roll my eyes
And smile.

The trophy had to be displayed.
He’d worked so hard
With so much effort
For years.

You’re bound to get lost
In a search for meaning
Community
Family
Self.

A spouse is a map
For your soul
When you get lost.

“I’m so proud of him.”

I caught it with the corner of my eye
As I walked into the room.

An unintentional gaze.
After the first glance
I had to have a second.

“Is that your trophy?”
I asked. Intrigued. Interested.
Seeking inspiration
On my own journey.

“Oh, it’s nothing,
I wish I could hide that.”
His reply saying more than just those words.

A scent of lost passion.
Outshined the metal.
His soul too lost
In a search for purpose?

“I’m so proud of him!”
Came a reply from his heroine
As she entered the room
And his heart.

A story of achievement shared.
Eyes brightened.
A soul less lost than a minute before.

“Congratulations!”
