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".
