Lone Walker.

Lone walker,

In the midst of the crowd his heart was always alone.

Sank into the belly of tribulations,

Unlike the missionary journey of Jonah he was vomited into

more woes.

Like how a beautiful mountain in a wilderness thirst for tourist

So his heart was hungry for love.

If loneliness is synonymous to poverty then he deserved this cross.

 

Lone walker,

He lonely walked on thorns, struggled with everything, sweated blood.

He lived a life of trapped miners in a cave miles below fresh air.

 

Lone walker,

Rain of respite barely shower on his path.

Sun bit his skin, dews often united with his tears,

For there was no even a free den for him to rest his head.

 

His days were worse than the trials of Job,

For he had not even a wife to encourage him to curse God and give up the ghost.

Like an eaglet without a falcon, he was accustomed to crying for his dying talents that was hidden too deep for any scout to discover.

 

To him the world was empty and void of helpers

Until a moment came when he decided to abort his worries, fears and his ugly past.

In a flash he recalled the parable of the talents,

In a speed of lightning he stood and put his hidden gift into use.

 

I key my mind into the eyes of the reader of his biography,

As I stood in the midst of his children offspring in his burial ceremony fit for kings,

With the assurance that he is not walking alone to heaven or hell indeed

And surely his once lonely heart would be filled with merriment and peace.
