The known stranger

The known stranger

A Poem by shivani

He was searching for something,

when I looked at him.

An old gentleman was he, 

I noticed as he glimpsed at me.

He looked like someone I already know,

I started towards him with my raised brow.

Hello! Are you in any trouble?

“I am lost my child.” while saying this

his eyes were not stable.

Can I help you if you don’t mind?

“Sure you can, thanks for being so kind”.

As we walked and searched for his place,

I’ve seen him before I thought, looking at his face.

He was smiling and I couldn’t find why,

he seemed to be happy within him,

 he was looking at the sky.

“I think we are at the right place”

his eyes startled, they were full of grace.

Then he took a turn and entered into my street,

he was heading towards his destiny, which he was going to meet.

He pointed towards some house,

when I noticed it I found it to be my own place.

Uncle I think you are mistaken,

I heard some voice that made me awaken.

I woke up and found my grandpa’s photograph

in front of my eyes,

I found that uncle to be my grandpa,

who before my birth had died.
