I happened on a stranger

I happened on a stranger

With a smile that said friend

And struck up a conversation

Mixed with laughter and no end

Her face was warm and glowing

Like the sun on sparkling sea

No sense of grief or sorrow

Only merriment and glee

I had nothing to give her

But simple innocence aglow

As the wind rose up to greet us

With enamoured ‘now’ in tow

One moment – please repeat it –

As the sunset turned to dark

A day like any other –

Bar the stranger in the park

With my head in the sky and my wings in the air, I try to spend my spare time at the footy (AFL in Australia) Go Pies! – and valuable hours with family and friends. Otherwise I’ll have pen in hand and notebook at the ready for those insightful snippets that dream up a poem. I contribute to Cosmofunnel where you’ll find a guided universe of poetry and art.
