The Wanderer

I awoke beside the dusty hard road Walking walking forward it endlessly flowed For the task has been set for me The open road ahead it will be From sundown to sunup I go My burden is not only for show Counting each step focuses my mind Searching for the sign it will unkind For my innocence was a long gone memory And so was the time when I was free Left to wander alone into the night With no rest or thanksgiving light You may see me a sunrise or sundown When the shadows lengthen along the ground My destiny will remain unfulfilled As my journey continues as time congealed.
