I have never Met a Stranger

( ̄∇ ̄)

‎​I Have Never Met a Stranger
‎They arrive after a long journey,
‎leave upon a narrow path
‎The cycle of strangers continues thus
‎Yet, I have never met a stranger

‎​They are a mine of coal
‎Whose door closes for me
‎They shine like diamonds in the darkness
‎They settle in the heart with a way of loving
‎Therefore, I have never met a stranger

‎​Every living thing is a mirror of my desires
‎How artfully I meet them!
‎They carry everything, and I select from amongst it
‎Every wish, memory, and the fragrance of a lost stranger
‎In this world, I have not met any strangers

‎​They must rise towards their destination
‎After walking some distance with me on a peaceful trail
‎I get lost in the thicket of memories on that same trail
‎Perhaps they, too, get lost carrying these very things
‎And I am never able to meet a stranger
