Character

Light of day
brings
a visitor.

Magnificent, 
grey-haired 
bastard
from 
nowhere
but here.

Banters at me,
"There is a
plan for you."

With hands spread
illustrates,
"From birth
to death..."

Pauses
and waits 
for me.

Then in revelation,
"and in between..."

Comes the promise,
"is life."

Feels like I would watch some travel to be caught up to meet someone bewitching, shows him odd tricks and reaches his life, but then he he mysteriously as he came, very interesting, could be a story in many ways
