Walker

Today has been about walkers.

He stopped me, to ask if I had seen a girl. He could not find words to explain exactly where he had last seen her - except that she had been 'over there, and round the corner'. I could not help, and he had the determined but empty look of the lost.

I last saw that look in my mother's eyes. She was lost too, until she managed to design her own peace.

I hope my walker today found his girl.
