Notes About The Poem

Lost in Translation

in a strange foreign land 
lone outsider
waiting on the sidelines
stumbles upon friendship
and finds comfort
soul to soul

securing a safety net
experiences the freedom to let loose
to laugh and share the freedom to be free
within confines set by the heart
indelibly forging a lasting memory
to take home and treasure always

This is a sweet thing. But imagine if that sweet stranger turned out to be a charming killer? Sadly we can trust no one these days. Better to travel with a friend!
