NOMAD

You wonder why you can’t crack

The combination lock to my heart.

You wonder why you can’t steal

The treasures safeguarded inside.

 

You see me through the hazy fog,

And you reach for me.

But your hand passes through the mist,

Holding onto nothing.

And as fast as I come, I’m gone.

 

I’m a nomad.

I live off the land.

I change with the hour,

Switching directions without warning.

Forever a wanderer.
