on the open road with the wind blowing in my hair

in a crowded subway station
a hobo leads me
through the throngs of lives
split ends and nice knots
i have no idea of this
but the short man leading me
tells me with no regard
to the staring blue eyeballs

slow motion controls are gained
i sit watching myself on television
controlling the way i move
i am stuck in a maze of rainbows
and i can't find the gold
is the lesson i am to learn

i close my eyes once more
and i fly to a tribal ceremony
and in the middle of all the natives
is the bald white hobo
laughing and dancing and singing
he is banging on the drum
slamming with all his might
he feels like a king
in a very strange land
and this is the lesson of life
that a surrealist hobo banging on the tribal drum
taught me
the man that created him.

the only people for me are the mad ones-mad to live, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at once--jack kerouac

(big hugggsssssss) Every one has their special story to tell, and everyone is special in their own ways! (smiles) May you always find your own melody to walk and talk to, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Noah, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!
