Wandering Brother

wandering brother
passing through time
lonely and bereft
of lost friends that were mine

foggy streets of eternity
it is not for everyone
especially for this wretched ME
a clown forlorn that wished he was never born
Hurting is unkind to a loner who lost his mind

Travelling without a map to follow
He left his belongings near Yorktown Sleepy Hollow
Paths to discover and forests to stroll through
If a woman could hold him and then start fresh anew

The clouds up above are guiding his trail
See him through weather of sun and stormy hail
he remembers a best friend by the name of Moses
who opened his sanctuary while other doorway closes
YOU ARE A BROTHER IN NEED
I AM YOUR FATHER 
TURN AWAY FROM THIS LIFE'S GREED
And so I did and he showed his smile:
STAY WITH ME,YOUNG FRIEND..AT LEAST FOR A LITTLE WHILE

We soon parted way but his kindness remains to this very day
As my travels continue my recollections remain true
When will this wandering cease
Who knows,perhaps,maybe HE will not renew my lease
until that day that will arrive
I will keep wandering cause my Hope is still alive
