Remember the Stranger

A person helps another by extending a hand, both smiling and wearing outdoor gear.

remember 

the stranger
 
lest your heart 
become 
a shackle
 
and a stone 
become the surface 
of your skin
 
in solitude
i am overcome 
by the wonder of freedom
 
that
i touch y(our) loneliness
 
and unalone 
at last
 
i let you
stranger
 
all the way in!
