Vagrant

 

Wanderer, capture time

and fall to newest shores –

strange, yet quite familiar,

this beach that finds your strength

again.

 

Strange in noise and business

with strangers all around,

escaping from embitterness

with thoughts that echo sounds.

 

Strange, the light that beckons you

is sourced from where you came.

Strange that it once guided you

to fly this way to fame.

 

And now the eyes of watchers

search each wave, follow your shadow,

Their minds know only wonder

as you return to blue.
