An open road, one lone walker
A black clear sky, Orion's Belt
Alnitak, Alnilam and Mintaka
Viewed in the early night sky
Constellations scattered
A full moon sits high
The eye is distracted by
The light
The road so bare
Not a soul to be seen
Guided by thoughts
Alone
Turning a corner onto
The narrow back track
Homeward bound, no end
To this, journey that started
With just one step
Into the abyss, a distant
Wanderer, who'd always
Be lost.
