Strangers creep and float through the streets Spirits filled with experiences Weighted by regrets Or elevated by happiness Each one with a past, They are close, but their thought seem afar There´s one who catches your eye Her hair is badly dyed, Many would take time to criticize But maybe something happened one day Hopeful at the saloon for a change When a call about a soul ´s demise Took her out of the place Forgetting about everything else Not prepared for a loss A mom dying with no cause Who would stop to think about hair? Would you see her in the same way again? Now that you´ve opened your brain, Now that you´ve dared to wonder? Maybe presently, the deep blue curls Match better with the sense She might have felt that cold and dismal day Maybe she should change to a red Strong scarlet implying the anger The feels she may get at night Expecting mom back when she just won’t. But I might be wrong, *My mind can have floated way too far Trying to answer something I will never know The history of the unknown.* Maybe I am just wrong with my guess And she just has the worst tincture taste.

History of the Unknown
Strangers creep and float through the streets Spirits filled with experiences Weighted by regrets Or elevated by happiness Each one with a past, They are close, but their thought seem afar There´s one who catches your eye Her hair is badly dyed, Many would take time to criticize But maybe something happened one day Hopeful at the saloon for a change When a call about a soul ´s demise Took her out of the place Forgetting about everything else Not prepared for a loss A mom dying with no cause Who would stop to think about hair? Would you see her in the same way again? Now that you´ve opened your brain, Now that you´ve dared to wonder? Maybe presently, the deep blue curls Match better with the sense She might have felt that cold and dismal day Maybe she should change to a red Strong scarlet implying the anger The feels she may get at night Expecting mom back when she just won’t. But I might be wrong, *My mind can have floated way too far Trying to answer something I will never know The history of the unknown.* Maybe I am just wrong with my guess And she just has the worst tincture taste.
When I´m in the streets I like observing people and guessing their past, creating conjectures about their history. This popped in my mind when I was on the bus and I felt the need to write it down. Hope you enjoy it.
