saw a gunslinger striding down the path
a purposeful glint in his eye

then noticed a beauty
with a spring in her step
and a sparkle in her eye

was he here to cause mischief
or entrance with romance …

I can only speculate
for I know naught
of their lives or ways

but if I befriend them
they might share their story

and I shall be the wiser
to know others is a glory
ignorance will be our demise
