The presence of a guide, a calming presence,
That assists people during traumatic times.
This is an occurrence that has been reported before,
When people were lost and found their way.
Are there special beings from beyond the stars?
Who step in to help humans when they need it?
Are these visitors, angels or guardians in time?
That visit humans in need in every clime.
Always referred to as the Third Man,
That mysterious figure who comes to save.
To guide a lost human to a safer place,
Yet, who disappears without a trace.
The Third Man Factor is unexplained,
Is it a mental creation or an aberration?
It is impossible to explain the Third Man Syndrome.
It is that feeling that guides and leads one home.
Poet’s Note: The Third Man Syndrome is a phenomenon, that has been recorded over the years. The Third Man Factor is a book written by John Geiger, who recounts such experiences faced by people.
