Seemingly forever known
I did chance upon a face
Where I had known him
I was not able to place
He looked little seasoned
brow furrowed with time
Ashen whiskers of maturity
radiating aura bit sublime
Dressed in an average garb
with nonchalant his stride
Something looked familiar
but I was unable to decide
My greeting was returned
with gesture to sit beside
Prodding me to open up,
what I was trying to hide
Curious I was to discern
if someplace we had met
Response to my queries,
with time I was told beget
Shared with me his trails
and tribulations of yore
Each revelation déjà vu
of my having faced before
So much was there in common
I could see my life unfold
Touching on every nuance
to none which were told
I was aghast with ability
all the answers he knew
How naturally he decoded
my life having gone askew
I goaded him to elucidate
how he mastered this art
Absolve all cynics he said
and expel them from heart
While bidding adieu I asked,
if had known earlier about
Waved he simple goodbye
not clarifying any of doubt
I called out behind him
if possibly to meet again
I am you from future he said
and with you always remain
