Passenger

Lonely passenger on a sandy path
 His dreams in the torn shirt’s pocket
  Far away from home fate made him go
 
The sun was high up in the sky
 Blazing demon’s breathe, burning
  Far away from home fate made him go
 
In his mind’s image is a Peepal tree
 Under its shade he desires for peace
  Far away from home fate made him go
 
Ever he would return no one knows
 His next few steps he is not even sure
  Far away from home fate made him go
 
Yet his spirit is strong, flaming blue
  He won’t give up on destiny, though
   Far away from home fate made him go
