Dear Roads take me home..

It's a lonely path I walk upon,

Don't ask me where to

or where from;

I don't know my destination,

I don't know my base,

I don't know my path

I know it wasn't so silent before

Some walked alongside a while,

Some walked a full mile

Some talked about the distance..

The day walked by me my shadow,

Passing us were men and women

some with words, some only smiles

I wasn't alone...

When night falls

its stillness whispers to me,

That I was alone,

for all who walked and talked

reached there spaces and places,

and the ghosts of reality lurked behind

and crept on me,

that even my shadow left me in a bind

I thought of God,

and I thought and his men

I thought of life,

And I thought some more then..

Was my journey a sham or lie

Or an intoxicated figment

or a sensitized cry...

I could never know

For whenever reality hit

He brought a new day

A new shadow

A new new drifter,

and the night lurked at bay...

It's a lonely path I walk upon,

Don't ask me where to

or where from;
