"The Wandering Soul"

Hardened from his early years
Taken the wrong path in hidden tears
No definite destination there is to go
The dusty wind of fate will only know

Hard darkened alleys he calls his home
Trash and hand-outs is just but norm
Comes heat, comes cold he care but none
What is of yesterday is all and gone

It's all of now and no tomorrows
The shadow of darkness is all but sorrows
A hardened face that leaves a mark
Of a constant battle on a  life so dark

The dark full hairs now turned to gray
All that youth has gone away
No precious moments to leave behind
Only hard memories that's not so kind

Like a rolling stone that carries none
Is what that is for a wandering man
No home, no place he can call his own
A nameless soul that lives alone

"Yet on the final day
before he close his eyes
He showed no tears
no time to cry
Only a quick smile
then said goodbye
To a world he only knows
with a question, why?"
