Stranger...

There he stands
On the outskirts of my mind
Wandering about
Lost in thought
He stops a moment
And I hide away
It feels as if
He senses my presence
I see him look around
Shake his head and keep on walking
I watch him in silence
This mystery man
Why does he linger
In the recesses of my mind?
What does he mean to me?
Why do I need to know more?
Is he a guardian angel?
Or perhaps the bearer of bad news…?
Why does he stare?
Why doesn’t he come closer?
Why does he roam
On the very edge
Of this abyss
That is my mind?
A haunting memory…
A remembered fear…
An inexplicable feeling
Of overwhelming apprehension…
The need within me builds
I reach out to him
A gentle tap on his shoulder
He slowly turns to me

The image shatters
