Life in Transit

    Stranger

    2003

    How strange to knock upon the door
    Of a place I’d known long years before
    To be welcomed in by friends estranged
    See familiar furniture rearranged
    To wander the maze of old memory halls
    To listen to echoes of distant recalls
    To search for the signs where the past left its print
    Of my passage through time, some small clue or a hint
    But the harder I looked, the more seemed the same
    ‘Til it finally became clear, it was I who had changed
