Stranger then friends

[ladysphinx]

Stranger then friends

From the darkness of those black holes
Our friendship rose like shining light
The action to reach for your soul
And in this we find our delight

From the flaming blaze of shyness,
Which could have kept us apart until
we all have died of age and stress
but we all must climb that foothill.

Now on this autumn windy day
I call this stranger dear to me
Shall our friendship now ever sway ?
or will it sing always in glee

Have I not reach for the unknown,
how empty my life now would be ?
And to never be all alone
in finding friends will lie the key!

You clearly write very good English which really is a refreshing change on the internet. One thing: do you think that exclamation mark at the end is entirely helpful?
