Stranger

All in one night

can life so change

All in one eve

emotions exchange

For weeks on end

dragged around

even by dearest friends,

with thorns, crowned

One night with a stranger,

at dinner with him,

when told of love,

my hurts grow dim

Now my heart

has learned to love

and once again my art

only of life, it speaks of
