Seconds

That’s all it takes
Just a few seconds
To help
To decide to help
or to abandon
without.
Gracious man
Busy and rushed
Bus driver.
Stopped
and waited
for a fellow human -
rushing, panting, chasing
a dream, a job, a sustenance…
and just about made it mid-way
to the door
the closed bus door.
When in those seconds
A mind, a heart changed….
into
doing unto others
became a loud action
in the cold morning stony silence
of a busy city.
A few seconds of a
heart that opened to another
Opened mine.
Do I have those few seconds now,
For another?
