Strangers.

Familiarity.

It is the eyes.

I watch them,
they at times watch me
and somehow know
I want to know
them.
When I acknowledge
their curiosity
with my smile,
barriers fall.

And I say "hey"
or they say "hey"
and so it begins.

"I have been to heaven,
to hell
and still I stand."

It is said in many ways.

The diversity,
the same,
how we are so one.

There is this quickening of light,
or the pained smile
of deepest despair.

Thank you strange friends
for the connection
that words,
spirit
and true eyes
confess.

You and I matter
and we shall
always find each other.

Perhaps,
when we most need to tell our story.
