The Lone Traveler

The night feels lonely,

A frail lantern flickers far away;

A lone traveler walks towards the mirage,

Drugged by the illusion;

Weight of his dreams bow him down,

He carries them in parts...

Some hidden in his deep eyes,

While some in his broken smile...

His feet drag their way along

A gush of cold air blows past him,

A tear falls and somewhere

loses its way down his cheek;

Somehow he still manages to

Keep his heart warm by his prayers...

Trusting his journey to find out

The purpose of his walk

Towards the light...
