Soft Collision
Frozen out cold, by deep-winter fear,
We shed all protection and dared to draw near.
You trusted the strength of your brotherly kin,
I tested the truth of my feelings within.
My pre-programmed smile strained to reach your cool eyes,
But I shyly tried covering my real surprise
At your natural round and responsive grin,
So prone to being taken in.
