Stranger
Where are you from stranger?
...I can read the lines on your skin.
Why did you come here?
...To such a fragile precious place.
Do you come for war or peace?
...For we are beginners in both.
What do you want to teach?
...To fight for our life or find release.
What stars do you see?
...When you stare into the sky.
Do you come bearing gifts?
...For we will return them in kind.
Can you greet me as a friend?
...For I recognize an ancient soul.
