beard absorbs tears
pondering the years
feeling all alone
far from home
friends come
friends go
lovers turn to foe
faces pass
without a glance
strangers
one and all
I retreat
find solace
asphalt and brick
traded
for trees and grass
far from home
clouds gone
sky filled with
twinkling stars
no sounds
of rushing cars
flames dance
embers fly
somewhere into the night sky
