Untitled

Maybe I’m the man who sees,
What no one else observes.
Another faceless also-ran,
A nameless also-serves.

But from my dimmest memories-
There’s been a voice that cried,
Onward, ever onward-
Till you reach the other side.
  
The grass looks so much greener-
Over on the neighbors land.
The golden opportunities...
Never seem to fit my hand.

I’ve always had a habit,
Of looking into eyes
To try to find their secrets...
Try to understand their cries.

Call me drifter, vagabond-
Or call me what you please-
I’ll live life to the fullest,
Till my wanderings finally cease.

And may my words give meaning
To my peers with wanderlust.
Until we lay our armor by...
To rest beneath the dust.
