The uninvited guest

Long have i known your want to visit,
But mutual appointment u shun-
Ambush u cherish.

Be i alone or in company;
There u will be and a meeting will be.
Unilateral in agenda:sole is your agenda.

For the earthly beings,
Are never privy to our interaction.
Your whims give no such chance.

However,where am going:
To those who early in time hosted u,
I will tell of our private encounter.

Yet still- mention is made of our meeting,
By those who alter the earth soil.
From which soil i was mould,
And to which i descend.

To seal the fate that became of our meeting.

They tell of it;
With voices sound in wail n lament!
With eyes tears aplenty.

Their countenance-
Bragging with misery,
As grief permeates the province of sorrow.

The uninvited guest passed by...
And along i went.
