A Lonely Figure

A lonely figure
In the sands of time,
Just walking endless
On the paths you find.

I see your face, and
Then it disappears,
Into a crowd of
Faces changed by years.

I call to you, but
You do not respond.
You just continue...
T'ward your great beyond.

And so I sit, and
Wonder who you are.
Why do you haunt me,
Why have you come so far?

Are you my future,
Are you my past?
Please tell me specter -
What it is thou hast.

Or will I wander
Endless as you do,
In search of answers
Which I wish I knew.
