Walking Streets Paved With Nameless Stones

Walking Streets Paved With Nameless Stones I walk a street paved with nameless stones shadows of racing strangers I often meet are empty suits covering faceless bones Dark spirits that never dare to greet my hello with anything but angry tones Perhaps upon seeing my face filled with grief they remember harm they too have caused and lives they ended agonizingly brief Yet once one of them slowed and paused then danced a jolly jig to my great relief Who can fathom the mysteries so deep or lost souls wandering endless streets with the many dark secrets they keep Was not I racing on with soulless beats seeking reprieve while too scared to weep Robert J.
