A Sign

He wanted me to see
the coffee in his cup
but it was too late

"It was a sign, of something," he said,
"but it's gone now.
I don't know what it means."

He described a bubble
floating
a perfect orb
signifying mystery
a reminder of the grace
we so often
miss

and although
he looked
disappointed
that I missed it
I knew
I didn't need
to see it
to be touched
by what he
was getting at
