Strangers in the dark

Sorry what did you say, I didn't understand 

sounded blurry 

you say you know me 

is that what you said ,

who did you say you were ?

I recognise your face somewhat, in a hazy kinda way 

 and those eyes too 

but no its gone again 

 nothing there, 

my expression blank 

as I try to imagine you, 

as someone I once knew.. 

How do we know each other 

are you from a past life

 I wonder 

are you ?

your presence feels  a little ghostly to me

the air cold that surrounds us , although, 

the are some warmer tones amongst the breeze

your pockets seems empty 

you seem down , 

are you homeless dear stranger ?

at that point I feel a sense of us holding hands

is this a memory,

 I say to myself 

a lost feeling of familiarity maybe 

  I feel unsure in my heart 

but intrigued none the less 

this state we're in,

this place, 

its cold you know 

lets turn the lights on .

I see a candle on the table 

and go to light it 

the warmth and light reassures me

we sit together for hours 

 not knowing why we are here , 

maybe its a dream 

maybe i'm in a dream, 

as it sure doesn't make sense

feel like a story is unfolding 

and these are our lives

we are just representing a picture in a poem book 

or a story that started long ago 

thats been picked up again 

the warmth of hands 

slowly,

 bringing time in to colour warmth and focus 

waiting patiently for understanding..

This is a very fine sketching of thought. I have been accused of being a "ghost" at times. Ha. We all can be at times I think. Yet we also make assumptions. Usually never entirely accurate. Still when we risk seeming foolish by sharing what we think we see and understand, then we can connect as we share truth back and forth until the ghosts solidify as friends...
A lovely thought.
