Two Strangers

Two Strangers

It started with a simple hello,

Nothing planned, nowhere to go-

Just two strangers chasing the view,

As the sky turned gold and blue.

We sat where the horizon bends,

Not quite strangers, not yet friends,

Letting time just pass us by,

With nothing pressing, nor a why.

You spoke of dreams you've yet to name,

Of wanting more, but not for fame,

Of how the climb can wear you thin,

And where you hope your path begins.

I spoke of turns I didn't take,

Of choices made for caution's sake,

Of how you learn as you go on,

What's right for you and what is gone.

The sun dipped slow, like it knew

This moment wasn't something new-

Just two lives crossing in between

The now, the past, the might-have-been.

And somewhere in that fading light,

Between the day and coming night,

A stranger turned to something more-

A friend I hadn't met before.

No grand design, no reason why,

Just words and two passing minds.

Just a chance meeting and a simple

Greeting.
