HOLDING HANDS WITH A STRANGER

HOLDING HANDS WITH A STRANGER

They met, unofficially introduced by nature

Each at a strategic vantage point from the other

Their coexistence held neither rivalry nor malice

Their connection seemed almost like smoke and mirrors

Their passion a familiar legend told amongst humanity

They stare boldly at each other and their hearts flutter

A horizon simultaneously separating yet bonding them together

Sometimes if only for the slightest of moments their skins tingle

A feeling of the other looking towards them, searching for them,

Their eyes meet yet they cannot see each other.

In their times of great emotion this becomes their haven

Here they often meet and whisper their secrets to each other

Their lips do not move and their feeling carried on by the wind

Sometimes they smile to each other in gratification not feigned

With hearts swollen with joy only they could understand.

These two souls may never meet yet there will be no disappointments

For their late nights shared may very well be almost conjured

Their view of the horizon from different points of the earth

Such is the joy of a shared experience from so many miles apart

Such is the magic in holding hands with a stranger.
