He Walks Amongst Us

He walks amongst us, but he is not one of us.
That's what the words say,
But not what they mean.

Is this a stranger in town,
Someone so isolated that even his friends do not recognise him.
Is he a lost soul on an endless ocean?
an oasis in the desert?

Or is this someone who stands out from all of the others,
A leader, a champion, an authority.
A lone voice in a silent crowd.
The single cloud in the clear blue sky.

We have the potential for both. Who we choose to be is for us to decide.
