Stranger

You are a stranger
With a different color
With a different nose
With different eyes and ears

Once upon a time
The world was familiar
Where we exchanged roses
Where we shared mirth
That time we mourned for severing
The world was big and
Beautiful like a poem

The season has changed
Leaves have rusted
Earth has burned and cracked
With a new painted face
You are a stranger
With a different color
With a different nose
With different eyes and ears.

until the end of time....strangers are all we find....because not a single one of us knows....just how another's mind goes....so being a stranger really doesn't seem odd....because we are all strangers to everyone but God....Only He Knows For Sure....;)
