The Night is only for Strangers


Two strangers at the crossroads
Our paths become our moment


Suddenly it’s over
just when we got started
Anyway you and I


The dance
like two ships pass at sea
We’re at the oceans mercy


Strangers we are
you and I
It can’t be over
cause we hardly knew us


The music and the wind
like two lovers that cross
Just two strangers
dancing
waiting for midnight
to hold us


As dawn draws near
we kiss and hold tight
knowing it’s over


The night is only for strangers

Wistful and haunting, Dale Clark. So many times we touch fingers, exchange looks, see eyes.... and there is nothing more; but how wonderful when a connection is made occasionally, whether for only a moment or for longer. The night is conducive to this, isn't it!

Peace. Joyce

I am in the midst of such a night and I don't mean for it to end but in an everlasting dream, Dale. Thank you for this. Love and peace,

This wrestles memories from the past--but softly, with quiet resignation. I like the interplay of dancing with the music and the wind, beautiful expression, Dale...
