I heard you strumming your guitar under my balcony you sang so magically the beauty overwhelmed me I sat and listened in complete silence breathing in your every note and sound How breathtaking your talent was you sang of things of great significance you sang of things so true I felt the pain in your song I felt the happiness too Eventually I arose from the shadows I stood and clapped at the finish of your great work I began to tell you how talented i thought you were we sat and talked on the beach until early morning I slept soundly with visions of our talk and the wisdom you had shone to me crowding my mind with thoughts so true I often thought it was so odd to feel so strongly about someone as different as you Different in a wonderful way, unique, profound You spoke of the rainforest, love, nature It was as if I was living in a wonderful dream I met a man so intellegent so wise, we shared aspirations, we shared dreams We walked on the beach and sat in the sand you taught me lessons about being true to no one else but myself to follow my own dreams and to not let others knock them down you looked at me and shared your thoughts we made memories i'd always dreamt of having the final day of your stay i watched you kayak through the water following the dolphins and rays we walked away from the ocean and then we said goodbye it was hard to not be sad we didn't have more time but the memories of the songs and talks we shared were far to much to be grateful for Thank you for being on the patio that night and filling the air with your words I appreciate the time we spent together those days after we were no longer strangers in the night. |

Strangers do have a way with touching our lives, don't they. Such lovely memories you have to treasure. |

AngelWings~ this was beautiful, for better lack of a word. it is amazing to me how "strangers" can come into our lives and leave such a profound mark, forever touching our hearts and souls. it's apparent that this is what this person did for you. your heart shines in this! take care. amy  "Don't be dismayed at goodbyes. A farewell is before you can meet again. And meeting again after a moment or a lifetime is certain for those who are friends." "Fate exists but it can only take you so far, Because once you're there It's up to you to make it happen." |

Thank you all for your comments. Yes, it is quite weird how a stranger can influence us in such a way. I wish you all good luck in writing and thank you for reading mine.  |
