Stranger of a Friend
She knocked on our door
A stranger...? Nay, more!
Enlightened one of yore?
Or a ship seeking the shore?
Hello, stranger of a friend!
What makes your mind bend?
Does it tremble with glee
When a river meets the sea?
Do you know what is known
When a friendship is sown?
When the sea is quiet,
And the sun beams a smile
Then all is filled with mirth.
Alas! Joy but lasts a while.
What whims of your heart,
What rhythms in your veins
Sails your boat afar
In the tumultuous rains?
