Passing Strangers Poem by Kaila George

The moonlight sprinkled across the path

She stood alone in the dark

Her thoughts racing as she tried to think...

She had seen a vision....

Her eyes blinked once then twice

Her heart skipped a beat

She felt like she had seen a ghost

But there he stood...the love of her dreams

He was unaware that she was close by

She stood trance fixed to scared to move

He had been talking with friends

as they walked passed her house...

She had only stepped out for a breath of fresh air...

This was unexpected for her, she was totally scared

Am I dreaming...she pinched herself...he was still there

They seemed to busy...talking about guy things

But she blinked in the dark thinking he could hear her breathe

He was handsome and tall, as he chatted with his friends

Then as they walked pasted she felt silly at first

Why was she trying to hide...she had no reason to fear

She had never felt like this before, and thought to herself

What is happening to me, I barely know the man

Shaking her head she stepped back indoors

She glimpsed a passing stranger, yet she felt

In her heart that she knew him....sigh...sad

All they will ever be, are just

Two ships passing in the night...

A woman can dream can't she...smiles
