ENCOUNTER


Along   rambling   paths
Of   unstructured   conversations
-   Nowhere   to   Nowhere   -
We   met.
Strangers   –   in   step
Till   the   crossroads.

Then   I   spoke
And   watched   my   words
Trudge   again   a   solitary   way
Silent   echoes   in   emptiness
Unheeded   and   unheard.
