Ballad of a Lost Stranger

Well he looked upon

That winter’s storm

To beat the west

And winter’s scorn.

He rose above

That lazy lawn

And beat the heat

With hearts forlorn.

And he take the bait

With silver charm

‘twas worth the wait

He soon will learn.

One fodder’s fate

Few years to learn

Another’s solaced wish

Few willed to earn.

Well he lit the lamp

And struck the heat

With battle scars

From foes to keep.

He tainted talk

While willows weep

A boundless wave

While summer sleeps.

And he waves the fan

Air might retreats

One full drawn breath

Sand’s cool relief.

Time test the strength

Of withering reefs

Two worlds make one

Stomp one, on beat.

Well he looked down the road

And stole a load

Of one man’s bode

To which he owed.

And he laid to rest

The hand he saved

And struck his silent crest.

He thumbed a cab

Forgot his map

And squeezed in through the crack.

With little time

And no hard hat

He tripped up in the trap.

And he sunk below

That one long line

It took a wait

And worth the time

To share his vote

With those who won’t

Stand up for all mankind.

Well he gazed up high

At sky’s black hole

And racked his brain

Which took a toll

And wonder waits

For him to know

Just where he’s supposed to go.

And he jumped the ship

To warm the sea

One more time

Before he waits for thee.

To catch the shore

And open doors

Don’t whisper to the trees.

Well she took a look

Inside that book

And fell down to her knees.

With candid thoughts

And heart string love

She drew a breath with ease.

And she laughed a lot

At what we ought

To do, instead of sneeze.

She picked her part

Inside his heart

And gained a great relief

To which she owed

Her long last soul

And those she couldn’t see.

Well she turned the key

A way to see

The space she had not lost.

With fear of none

She toed the sun

And stood up for the cause.

And she tapped the top

And spoke a lot

With words she had forgot.

Remaining days

Cast rounding rays

She had one breath to stop.

For those that come

The time is one

When all she feared was pain.

The path recedes

While truth redeems

What’s left out in the rain.

Well she scuffled scoffs

Her hair in locks

They ruffle as she sways.

To each knight’s light

She lit the sight

And guided all the way.

And she gazed upon the daily dawn

Inhaling as she wept.

A puddles view

One face, to two

On sand

And tongue in cheek.

Well she grit her teeth

Bones chilled to speak

An ancient ruin found.

With dust revealed

All layers peeled

Now her world is round.

And she burned the bait

Pack up, vacate

Walk by and sight

And sing a sorrow state.

She played the game

Two hearts the same

And waited for her day.

Well they wished the well

And jumped the gate

Drank in the day

And fornicate.

They lost their way

With soothing say

In which they use to hide.

And they risked the raise

Put up the play

And took a battle breath.

One last time

Do or die

Time is on their side.
