"A STRANGER"
Cobwebs and tumbleweeds, traces of life and the past,
A forgotten road not so often traveled, not anymore.
Where do they go, the ones we once knew and walked with,
More and more they become ghosts, faded faces from
Yesterday.
Time slips away slowly Into my tomorrow where my memories
Are found,
Friends' are now strangers, strangers are now my friends.'
There once lived a woman who I did not know, she lived
Her Life without me.
In her there was not a thought of me, for me she had no
Meaning,
This stranger that I had not met would someday be the
Love A man could not forget.
Like the wind forever blowing, she has drifted, a
Stranger I never knew,
Where did you go,! where did you go,! A stranger I love, a
Woman, I'll never know.

Keith, your poem echoes with a long forgotten woman in Montana’s past. She wandered off, never to be seen again. When the wind blows out of the Crazy Mountains, this stranger still lives.
Thank you for your thoughts.
