That Kind Stranger
January 7, 2014
The blue sky wavers
On top of my heavy brow
Weights push and press me
So small like a bead.
Shoulders bent low to support
the weight of the world.
A hand reaches out
I take it reluctantly.
My shoulders lifted.
Concentrated eyes
Look toward a kind stranger.
My worries set free.
"I thank you, kind sir"
I say gratefully to him.
The world left to fall.
I've no need for it.
Alone, the stranger and I
Free of worldly needs.
Running without feet.
Spirits soaring in the sky
Never to look back.
