Stranger

Would you share your dreams with a stranger?

Thinking about a miracle may happen through storytelling

When the words are received by the stranger’s benevolence

Like touching a magic stone; they become vibrant with hope

The verses flow once they find their rhythm

From one line the stories aren’t satiated; thus, flows the recitations

After a moment it becomes satisfying

A miracle! Two strangers interpreting each other’s rhythm

Far away from home, the claustrophobic feelings disappear

The walls are not here to restrict and distort the voice

It’s a trusting moment when meeting a stranger feels assuring
