Stepped out to get a drink
Came back with much more
It lasted less than a blink;
On my way to the store
My path crossed with that of a man
Who seemed to be calculating a plan
The fire to take over the world flamed from his eyes.
He just stood there, but embracing everything
The cold, the empty streets had a deep meaning
To me and to him
It was not the illusion caused by drinking.
Only our eyes met for less than a second
But our minds connected, I did not feel threatened.
On a late hour such as this I would normally increase my pace
But there we where, the only two souls
Who wanted to embrace
The night, the world, the cold, in order to find our life's goals.
I came back home with so much more
From the eyes of the stranger I received the message
"You are not alone".
