Two Strangers

Two strangers

Two strangers
In a park 
In the sunshine
In the spring
Accidentally brush up against each other.
The same sunshine warms each of them
At that very moment.
And instantly, they became like each other;
The same touch, 
The same warmth of sun.
The blue sky’s countenance is for both.

Two strangers 
Quietly became acquainted
And dare to glance at each other.

Two strangers
Reveal to each other
The qualities each secretly possesses
Revealing beauty and kindness.
They steal a smile from each other
And stop walking
Long enough to remember the feeling of the touch of their hands
In the sunshine.

Two strangers 
Walk away  
No longer unknown.
No longer strangers.
