Stranger
She came from the mist
walking through the streets of
a great megalopolis unseen
she sought to become again.
On an unimaginable journey
large as the known universe
she moved swiftly from a site
to another world next door.
A taunting aura of gentle glow showed
a momentary glimpse of surprise
as she continued her discovery
within the odd grid of human days.
Aware of the destination’s treasure
shifting to the many faces of her search
she was close to the great completion
stranger in such familiar energies.
The city is hers permeating through
the illusory pores of the momentary shell
temple ornate with a-temporal answers
her identity inaccessible but to one.
Soon again she will depart this realm
to travel through infinite dimensions
immobile perhaps but unified with
the stars the prize hers forevermore.
