dangerous strangers

you showed me stars not only light the sky
how birds can fall because they fly
that the world's not only circling round 
hosting life and death in every sound 

air not only meant for breathing
nights not only meant for dreaming
sun not only meant for shining
words not only meant for rhyming

that a rose was born to shed its fears
in beauty on a path toward tears
and eyes can span an ocean wide
while a soul forgets to look inside


that strangers meet and have to part
soon after they have read your heart
and learned the secrets of your mind 
before they leave your past to hide


that willows weep for love is blind
to those forever lost in time
and strangers of the dangerous kind
are those who leave memory behind
