Stranger Within
© 2016 Iony Smith

a stranger we are to ourselves until we invite our special guest in from the rain or snow or from the torrid sun, inclement or fair blue skies the meeting is about to begin with the stranger within

bonding with this personification sometimes familiar other times not, now standing in our midst and breathing our air, we recognize and appreciate that which is us and that which is them and with the luck of the draw, we erect no barriers between the two, the stranger within 

we are divided at least in two, the known and unknown, both as irreconcilable and harmonious twins playing hide and seek over a lifetime of adventures, of wonderment and disappointment with the stranger within

And when the penumbras freely speak out of their filtered light, we sometimes listen and other times turn our attention elsewhere not wanting to hear confusion or another way to see what we struggle against with the stranger within, both the chaos and the calm beneath for the stranger within
