Standing firm on my chosen path, I cannot help but look to the desolate fields outside Despite no wall between, I feel alone Others glide past with ease, and share only brief interaction I admit I sometimes yearn for the company But I do not crave such connections displayed in this dense population.
But a man caught my eye With movements so fast, he seemed motionless and calm Beneath the heavy shadow he remained at peace No ropes laid out for escape nor comfort And the dark sun was not quick enough to cast a shadow on his image.
This man spoke words of honesty Although they may have been from cunning I could not see I chose to wear this blindfold and open my hands long ago I wonder if in the exchange of good for moments of pleasure Did this man conceal treasures from those bodiless tax collectors?
As we spoke, I felt him offload words into my ears Words with slight glimmers that brought more light to my own This honestly deceiving man was not lost He stayed hidden, concealed Secretly passing his light to my torch, to carry forward in my journey. Perhaps all is not lost, perhaps, we will wait and see, perhaps we will see.
