THE ENCOUNTER


So there I was. Me,

From another time,

Facing myself.


Pointing a finger at me,

Accusing with a glance.

Indignant. Young.


"How could you let

Me become you?"

The other me asks.


I look on, speechless.

Paled by seeing the ghost,

Of my past self.


"That you shall discover

As time ravages your soul"

said I.


"For some time ago,

It was me

Pointing the finger.

And me that was not

Mouthing these words

to you that was me.


So fare well friend,

An interesting journey

Awaits you.


And one day you’ll know

Exactly what it feels like

To be me, now".
