‘JOURNEY WITH A STRANGER” poem.
Driving on the mountainous road,
I looked at the rear mirror of my car,
Noticing a girl with some luggage,
Standing at a distance far.
So I put the gear in reverse & reached to her,
When she greeted me with an alluring smile,
And what filled me with awe was her beauty,
Leaving me hypnotized for a while.
In a long overcoat & knee-high boots,
Styled with a striped hat,
She looked perfect in every single way,
Holding in her hands a cute little cat.
A hitch-hiker she was,
Waiting for somebody to stop,
Tired and disappointed,
After waiting for hours on the hilltop,
We talked and giggled for hours,
A journey with her felt like never-ending,
Together singing & dancing along with the radio,
Enjoying a breathtaking view outside that was soul mending.
When her destination came and she was off the car,
I joyfully looked at her waving my hands from a distance far.
