Poetry

Emptiness

Feeling so empty
Dread taking over your mind
Worrying constant

The world spins around
No one to understand you
One day to the next

Then with a stranger
An unexpected angel
Suddenly a smile.

"A friend may be waiting behind a stranger's face."

Indeed, sometimes it takes a stranger to relieve the emptiness that can creep in. Food for thought, Maria.

Good morning Mar. It is a gift when a stranger brings a special gift out of nowhere. Almost like an angel sent just for us. Lovely thoughts. Love and hugs.

All it takes sometimes is a smile....one small smile....so little to pay for such a huge reward. Beautiful my dear.

This is so true: When I open my inbox and see a message from Maria, the angel in my life, I always smile :)
