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.
