There is no reason to breathe and
without the morning sun there is no reason to see
Walking on a hot sidewalk takes me nowhere
that has any meaning to my life
I’m just a wanderer who forgot to stop and say hello
Did you notice?
Did you notice me passing by your window?
Did you wave and I didn’t see?
How can I make my spirit stop walking away
and to and beyond?
My mother asked me why I disappear
and I told her just because
and she laughed and said I don’t believe you
and I thought that was a good answer
but it didn’t stop me from disappearing
again
and again
without breath in the morning mist
without the sun on my back
holding the journey in my hands
until it becomes real
Do you understand, mother?
Will you keep me close even though I am far?
