Drifting through life
Roaming into void
Alone in the world
Everything destroyed

None to care
Nothing to adore
Absent a goal
Deficient a core

He walks alone
No one to mind
Memories of nothing
His world is blind

Thy only friend
Has been his thoughts
Trust in no one
Love to him rots

Feelings don’t equate
Emotions a bear
No room for regret
His soul rare

His shoulders carry
The worlds worry
His cross to bear
His vision blurry

Life is cold
Hell is hot
Prison is lenient
Love is not

The ground at his feet
The wind at his back
Rain in his face
Mind under attack

Lost in the dark
Destination unknown
Traveled to far lands
No seeds to be sown

Somewhere to be seen
There is a place
Where the world sees him
And accepts his face

Along the horizon
He sets his heart
That someone would want him
To never be apart

From one place to another
No mind body or soul
Unneeded throughout
Enduring his stroll

Life without meaning
Spirit without guide
Body without  tone
Ocean without tide

One day it will come
Lightning from the sky
Opportunity awaits
Where there is no goodbye

His lonely eyes
No one sees
His ability so great
But no one agrees

If someone would risk it
Bliss would be found
For he would give all
His love would astound

Alas he keeps moving
His stride none the swifter
No ones concern
Because he is the drifter
