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 1.9.2021 Contest: VAGABOND DREAMS.

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
