A Walk Among Strangers

Yesterday I walked among strangers And no one uttered a word. Yesterday I walked among strangers Each seemingly in a world of his own. Yesterday I walked among strangers And no one noticed me As each rattled on, lost somewhere, A stranger of his own being on a crowded street. Yesterday, I smiled at strangers And no one smiled back Faces taut, cold and expressionless Filled with fear of what lies unknown. Yesterday I walked the city streets Bustling and alive with people Each with a set mind; a set agenda Each with some pressing deadline to meet. Yesterday I walked alone with strangers People of every nation In a bustling, crowded, and jam-packed city A city of such fame, fortune and renown. Today I took a walk alone Along a lonely, empty street And I felt peace with myself today. I smiled along with the silence and the empty street.

Good Work. This is really an eye opener. Until we realise how much loneliness we bring about by keeping our owm busy schedules, we won't realise how much we need each other.

I'd have smiled, should you have passed me by. But I can so relate to this poem. It is amazing how alone a person can feel when around so many people... And how less alone they feel, when they are by themselves.
