Of Vagabond Dreams

How long will this road grow
Gliding down these asphalt ribbons
Content I drift with no urgency
My mind wandering where it will

My feet zigzag  as the wind caresses my skin
I cruise safely as I watch the clouds moving thin
As I eat up pavements at a steady pace
A smile on this vagabonds meandering face

My today’s follow my yesterday’s
Each day the shadow of the last
I burn a trail without any traces
My spirit laments but seldom retraces

I deny my fickle conscience
To dictate my destiny in silent dreams
Where meandering is my only goal
The aspirations of an enigmatic soul

Sometimes we meander cuz our dreams seem so far away, AT times they can materialize in an instant, other times the disappear in a sea of regret. Either way you flowed this one perfectly, Loved every word, Congrats on your 1st place win, xo
