Alone He Walks

Alone He Walks

He made his decision

So alone he will stay

Though people asked what’s wrong

Still he walked astray

His eyes glazed cast only to above

Above, to the sky.

He didn’t need help

Nor did he need worldly things

He only wanted freedom

From these puppet strings

To transform to an eagle, so that he might fly away

He pities every tree

For rooted they would stay.

If only he were fire

So that he might dance ablaze

Felt jealous of the wind

Above him all his days

Most say he dreamed too much

All say he dreamed too long

But He awoke on winter’s eve

To find out they moved on

As the strings jerked

From his home he fell

So he spread his arms as if they were wings

Embraced falling as his spell

The clouds said they saw it

The earth made not a sound

But the only one to see it

Was not present on the ground

Here’s the way they thought it

He wasn’t who he was

Brought in the break of dawn

And let go of what he does

A sad tale that no ones ever told

Gone he is now forever no one holds

He fades away like chalk

If there’s a path for him

Alone he barely walks
