Dark Stranger

Stranger
Originally uploaded by Enduring Tempest.

You're sitting in the shade
Reading carelessly
Lost and absorbed in the world
In which only the story exists.

Who are you, dark stranger?
Why am I drawn to your
Unkempt curls
And Intelectual demeanor?

You're lying by a tree
Conversing Intently
Arguing passionately
For the beliefs you hold.

Who are you, dark stranger?
What mystery do you conceal
Beneath the baseball cap
You wear with easy elegance?

You're walking alone
Journeying purposefully
To a destination unknown
Seeking verification from the world.

Who are you, dark stranger?
What secrets do you hide
Behind the anti-social facade
You disguse yourself in?
