Dear Stranger
I felt your presence
I was aware
My heart was reaching
I saw you there
Skin of leather
Weathered bones
Mind, together
Yet all alone
Self sufficient
You had it covered
My need to help
Might have smothered
Your will to push
Willing persistence
Strive for pride
I kept my distance
I swept along
As though, aloof
A busy lady
With sense and cooth
The moment passed
You moved on
I stayed a while
Though you were gone
