Strangers on the Street

Strangers on the Street

Who knows how Fate divines that they meet

Car crash

30^th birthday bash

Over plates of sweet potato hash

Strangers on the Street

Who knows how Fate divines that they meet

In line at the grocery store

Over endless cups of coffee more

Never knowing what they are in for

Strangers on the Street

Who knows how Fate divines that they meet

Eyes locking across a crowded bar

On a trip to a land far

While walking from work to the car

Strangers on the Street

Who knows how Fate divines that they meet

Until one day – a smile, a nod

And it is no longer odd

Together – like peas in a pod

Strangers on the Street

Who knows how Fate divines that they meet

Until one day – they become strangers in arms

And love a dangerous poison & no longer charms

Horror the ripples on the pond – sounding alarms

Strangers on the Street

Who knows how Fate divined that they retreat
