Found shelter
Against the
Night
Behind so
Many
Different
      Walls
Know at times I've
Done some
Complaining
About the
Accommodations
View
Food
     
But I
Have no
Regrets
Learned much from the
Different roles I've
Played
Masks I've worn
    
All the
Faces in the
Night
Lit against
Backdrops of my
Dreams
Nightmares
      
Wonder what has
Become
Of
All those who I've
Shared
Moments by the fire
With
     
Wandered so long
So very
Far
There are
Few roots left to
Nurture
Me
     
Forced to learn to
Care for
Myself
With only the comfort of
Knowing I'll be with me
Through it
All
     
Tis enough to
Stand
Alone
Bathed in the light
Knowing I'm all I
Really
Need
     
Be nice
Finding
Others
Share the road
Walk beside another
For a
Ways
     
There have been
Others in the
Past
Who've walked with me
Made the
Trip
Joyful
     
But they've
Moved
On
Wandered off down other
Roads
Exploring other
Ways
     
Know there will be
Others who'll I'll
Find
Walk with
Share some moments
Along my
Journey
     
But eventually either
They or
I
Will wander off again
Way of
This
World
     
But with each
New day that
Comes
I'll be beside me
Helping myself to find
Joy in each
Experience
