The Stranger

I wandered lonely as a stranger in many ways, in many places, trying to sway the pierce of danger in lonely rooms and empty spaces, trying to pass the sand of dune to freely sing a fabled tune. I've been through storms and rugged mountains. I've been through deserts and troubled seas. I've tried to tame the raging fountains to have my share of elusive peace. I rode the wind to the skyline seam to reach the anchor of my dream. I tamed the pounce of flying dagger. I dodged the spear that hunts my heart. I fainted not, nor did I stagger. I've torn the tides apart. I did it all to seek my fate with all my strength and all my faith.
