From the view of a stranger, you might well inquire
Why I have chose such a path without hope or desire
When you see me in doorways, sheltering from wind and rain
It's from the elements I take refuge but it once was the pain
I've traversed hills and forest, through countryside
I know not the names of the towns in which I reside
Now life cannot touch me, I no longer feel hurt
My riches are gone and my palaces of dreams have crumbled in the dirt
I have toughened my skin and hardened my bones to the cold
But my heart is now young, though my face may seem old
Earthly possession were not easy to discard
Yet the further I walk the road seems less hard
Though my legs are acheing and my feet are bleeding
Life on the move is my kingdom of freedom
The blessing of nature when the sun rises each day
Is affirmation indeed to keep heading my way
I need not knowledge or power nor either my health
For the peace I have gained is in knowing myself.

| This fully encapsulates an urge in me that I will never be brave enough to satisfy. |
