Craziest Time Among Strangers

It was mid-April yet felt like December we tramped a rocky trail in the Himalayas, our footsteps echoed in the enchanting valley under the blanket of warm twinkling stars. Snow-clad peaks seemed closer than ever as we walked hand in hand, a few strangers, we'd found each other in our intriguing conquest mesmerized by dizzy aroma of mountain villages. We reached atop lost in crispy midnight beneath was a stream of shimmering crystals, afar, a night walker hummed ancient lullaby wrapping our frozen hands in a Cashmere touch. Our shivering hearts melting to soothing Aurora narrated journeys around fire lit by familiarity. A few hours gave us moments to remember for lifetime as we hula hooped our fears in freezing breeze. The kindness of strangers and the love we shared still warms my Winter nights in starry crystals, An unexpected journey lingers in my memory showering shooting stars of tender whispers.
