A Blitz Poem

Strangers are Contagious

Inspired by the prompt word — Mingle

Mingle around friends
Mingle with strangers
Strangers you like
Strangers that stare
Stare at you
Stare with pain
Pain in eyes
Pain that lingers
Lingers in hearts
Lingers on within
Within is secret
Within are desires
Desires at night
Desires that thrill
Thrill and remain
Thrill your life
Life going forward
Life can’t reverse
Reverse the past
Reverse a dream
Dream of him
Dream gives ideas
Ideas about love
Ideas for tomorrow
Tomorrow you will
Tomorrow is future
Future is unsure
Future makes memories
Memories for everyone
Memories to cherish
Cherish your family
Cherish and protect
Protect the earth
Protect and educate
Educate the kids
Educate those willing
Willing and able
Willing to look
Look at lies
Look at truth
Truth is pure
Truth to share
Share and mingle
Share with laughter
Laugher for everybody
Laughter is contagious
Contagious being together
Contagious like mingling
Mingling
Together…
