Michael Degenhardt Poet Free verse

Shared Light

Stranger,
You know my heart
As if it were your very own
Like a page opened before you
You read it, understand and acknowledge

I call you stranger
Not because you are
But because physically we’ve never met
We however share what seems a kindred spirit
A common light that glows brighter each time we’re near
So now I can call you
Friend

Carolyn Devonshire February 27, 2009 at 8:35 AM Michael, such a lovely verse. Surely we don't have to meet people to feel like they are our friends. That's something I learned on poetrysoup. I'm a fan and, hopefully, a friend. I appreciate your kind words on "Uncle Sam's Sticky Fingers." Love, Carolyn

Steve Voorhees February 27, 2009 at 7:21 AM Amazingly strong bonds can be formed with someone for whom we've never met. Sometimes social hangups leave us inhibited to our true selves of which we may never share with someone who we fear may judge harshly. A great write demonstrating the meeting of kindred minds!! Right on, Write on! Steve
