I came upon a stranger
On a dark and empty road
Traveling alone was he
The darkness suddenly cold
Turning up my collar
To the harsh night air
I could only wonder
Who is this stranger here
Nodding as he passed
Not a word was said
Yet this stranger I knew
From a time thought dead
Turning as he moved on
To watch the stranger there
I found the road empty
Only darkness everywhere
Who was this ghostly figure
This apparition in the night
Perhaps a mere illusion
Now vanished from sight
I know not from where he came
Or was his presence real
Perchance a glimpse ahead
And my greeting there revealed
Thank you.......yes I line that line...hopefully it says a great deal
