Beneath such grim lit skies, the migrating clouds,
o’er the autumn forest, leaves dancing to the ground.
The grey path, cracked and torn, leaves smothering its face,
red, brown, and yellow, blending together so nicely that it creates an
artwork in itself. Dark grasses litter the pathways flanks,
coursing like a cement river.
Remnants of recent rain caught in the midst of short blades,
catch upon the rough toes and soles of aged leather shoes.
The wind penetrating his tattered jacket, a bag slung over his
shoulder, it being somewhat used and expiring.
His feet neither cheerfully nor sorrowfully scraping the ground.
His eyes catching little of the days light, but the lack of light did not hide
his tears, his lonely life, he wanders the paths of the nations,
walks down the roads into the horizon,
into the sunset and away from the dawn,
he only ever wandered, he led a simple life,
he was not homeless,
but instead quite rich,
he did not like the suits, the jewellery, the houses, and
banquets, the business, he hated them all, the meetings,
the lifestyle, the expectations, he wished them all away to wander
the great expanse the great wilderness of earth, tame and un-tame.
He hated company, he hated humanity,
he hated nature, he hated war, but hated peace, he
hated work but hated laziness,
he loved to be alone in all that he hated.
He loved to wander alone.
