lonely stranger

A lonely man walks along a road,

his tattered clothes shredded from age

he looks towards the cars that pass

wondering where they have to go

his mind is lost trapped in a time he once lived

his past lies along the road beside him in a gutter filled with mud

his thoughts ramble off his tongue in a rhythm only he knows.

The world passes him by, and he begins to smile,

his mind is his home, while the road lies ahead,

No where to go , no destination in mind
.
the walk itself is his life.
