The Silent Walker

A silent walker strides his course
     In pensive contemplation
His brain a fire with thoughts of life
     In search of explanation

The quiet man continues on
     His path is often winding
He wonders how his life will turn
     And what will be the finding

On his road, he learned that life
     Is worth the tribulation
That joy and sorrow sometime meet
     A part of life’s narration     

I love to walk in silence still
     Though now in recollection
When I think of my younger days
     In peaceful introspection
