The Visitor (Just Passing Through)




Did I visit here then
as I visit there now?
Was I in search
of the same elusive truths?

Did I see you then
as I see you now?
Did we recognise
the strange scent of destiny?

Did I stop to reflect
upon the weirdness of the light,
or wonder at the feeling
that I did not belong?

Did I ever look at the past
as a regretful lesson for tomorrow,
or just walk forward into the darkness
looking for the beacon of your smile?
