Solitude

Walking along the valley floor

Dancing with timeless fog patches

Towards mountain peaks he's moving on

Away into the far forever places

Away onto a path with no return

His pack is heavy and heart cannot be so

As most journeymen have emptiness to spare

Freedom from burdens - his riches aren't plenty

But shedding troubles gets him to return

I watch him fade into a grayish distance

Imagining no words exist there now

When deepest thoughts imprison you to listen

Confronting understanding from within
