Once upon another life, when I was free I saw you,

You saw me.

Incarceration; a grown man but a child inside, feckless reckless.

Keeping secrets, he made his way

In the world,

Yet he curled from the past,

And the shadow cast

Always there.

Stealth conjures hidden and silent thoughts.

Cat like he walks,

No sound of tread.

He stalks, on a mission,

No permission.

None needed, he had a purpose,

To see what could be taken

And shake them fromĀ themselves.

And so cat walks on in stealth

No sound of tread. He stalks. On a mission.
