Nomadic Stirrings
running, moving away
never really got a place to stay
ran fast and far all my day
not away from, but away to
where I'd lay me down smiling
'neath a tree, breathless
dreamless, lifeless, someday
lost my way, gone astray
couldn't care less anyway
I'm close to home, I'd say
smiling as I sought my road
biding my time with one
who asked "could we together
run this way just for today?"
together, we searched our way
unsure if it was night or day
no promises, no lies, we'd say
but in her path I couldn't stay
so we smiled and sighed
no questions whatsoever
for, all along, we knew why.
