Verse From A Vagabond's Song

A man cannot live without a permanent trust in something indestructible in himself.

Franz Kafka
***************************
Let me tread patiently along the road I'm on even though it is not the one I chose.
Let me walk among the trees and rest beside unknown brooks.
Let me see the stars at night and wonder on which one is my home.
Let me plow this stranger's field in peace and spend some time with my brother mouse.
Let my song be sweet but let it not interrupt the birds.
Let the wilderness with all it's dangers surround me.
Let my spirit hang like a harp on a branch and let the wind play it.
Let my tears water the ground and bring forth violets.
Let my days be wrapped in cool, soft linen and my nights fly on moth wings.
Let me sleep in comfort and dream of peacocks.
Let me see the lambs at play.
Let me gather wild ferns and flowers from the hills.
Let me fling my wrongs into the sky like sand from the desert.
Let me name the clouds as they form.
Let me be important to someone or something.
Let my final stopping place be safe.

DB - The Vagabond
