STRANGERS :
By ANILA DINA
In passing shadows, lives collide,
Unknown faces, stories hide,
Brief encounters, silent tides,
Strangers' worlds, where secrets bide.Eyes that meet, then quickly part,
Silent echoes in the heart,
Paths converging, then depart,
Moment's brush is a fleeting art.Silent signals, unspoken grace,
In each other's mirrored space,
Shared humanity's embrace,
In the void, a gentle trace.Lonely hearts, a crowded street,
Strangers' souls in silence greet,
Wistful gazes, memories fleet,
In their crossing, life is sweet.Unknown names, yet understood,
Common ground in quiet stood,
Life’s connection, thin but good,
Strangers bond in solitude.
The poem "Strangers" explores the fleeting yet meaningful interactions between people who don’t know each other.
This suggests the brief and often unnoticed encounters between strangers.
Every stranger has their own life story that remains hidden from us.
These interactions are momentary and often pass silently.
Each stranger carries their own secrets and inner world.
Strangers might briefly make eye contact before looking away.
These brief encounters can leave a subtle emotional impact.
Strangers' paths cross for a moment and then separate.
The interaction is like a brief, delicate piece of art.
There is non-verbal communication and understanding between strangers.
Strangers reflect aspects of each other, even in silence.
They share a common human experience.
Even in their brief contact, they leave a gentle impression.
