Wanderer

Surprise flings impromptu In seeming solid too: Fatigue can hurl a play That heals the cosmic stay; Today I met a man Who shared a curious plan; A wanderer most strange With a fabulous range; A stranger here perchance To cast a foreign glance; Sanguine and yet fancy His demeanour easy; Twinkling eyes spoke flavours Beyond what words favour; A simple smile made bright The zesty cheer put right; Plain few spoken words sought To make meaning of naught; Such cryptic telling poise Wrought mystery by choice; I'm sure he had a pitch Where curious questions itch; Not much was said or heard Yet a sense beyond words; I feel a certain surge Of ideas that emerged; Now here I sit to think Of many things to link; The day has ended here And he to other spheres; A mystic moment dwells Upon enchanted spell; A casual surprise forms A preview to a storm; How strange this melody Where words fail harmony. No logic can explain The range of sad refrain; Too soon the lonely night Where dreams unfurl sure flight; I pester now the tale, No words can make the sale! I wonder on this dream That seems to fact odd scheme. Leon Enriquez 11 Nov 2014 Singapore
