Hard-to-Beat Feeling

It’s hard to beat that feeling ~
Someone smiles at you in trust
Someone thinks you’re decent,
Generous and just

For one magic moment
Between the two of you
No hatred, nor yet denigration
Did they fear to view

Someone found permission
In this world of lacks,
Predations and suspicions,
From you ~ to relax
