He Lurks in the Shadows

He lurks in the shadows
at the edge of reality,
as if entering
from another
stage.
He is unknown
and unrecognized,
and only disguised
by a hat.
His spectral shape
moves through the night,
and thrives
in a waning light,
until he vanishes
just like
that!

Ask him your answers,
for questions he would tell,
like a rosary's
shining beads.
