Whither I Stroll

Into a great silver realm of night I go,

   and strange paths I find winding

   whither I stroll;

Jutting spear-fences cutting, tipped

   frozen cold,

   against a misted moon;

Twinkling snow on the death of eve,

When stray cats envy the warm windows....

And strangers in little alien-coves

   seek their familiar front-door homes,

   sometimes, I too

   (suddenly)

   feel alone

   winding down strange paths,

   whither I stroll

Somehow there is a comfort in the familiar even when we are faced with the cold. It is sad that for some there is only shelter on the outside of others doors.

Yes Richard --- I've helped many homeless people over the years, sometimes they seep in to my thoughts and I think of them and their trials and tribulations. I will always defend them. Thanks for caring! and your kind comments!
