The Wanderer

The roads are my family,
We meander together,
And just like my dreams,
They go on forever.

Once I was wealthy,
With a lifestyle so fine.
Now I’m much richer,
But don’t spend a dime.

I sleep somewhere different,
Each day of my life.
The mad lust for money,
Now gives me no strife.

“He lives in the gutter”,
I’ve heard people say.
But I’d rather call it,
A long holiday.

The clouds and the stars,
Are the roof of my home,
They’re always with me,
Wherever I roam.

I’ve never been married,
Nor ever had kids,
And nothing now ties me,
To permanent digs.

So I enjoy freedom,
I’ve nothing to lose.
My hardest decision,
Is ‘which way’ to choose.

I wander the highways,
I’m caught in their spell,
And worried by no man,
...because of my smell!

Ivor G Davies

The moment created this second, is a  moment that's going to last.
It lives the full spectrum of time, the future, the present and past.

passing shadows,

why is it that freedom is not found in being free?
