A long ride it has been,
Travelling on lonely roads,
Sleeping on dusty floors,
Walking through scary forests,
Facing the dark nights,
Braving the gales,
The sun beating down over the head,
The storms throwing plans astray,
Shadows being cast by dark clouds,
The rains drenching the mind and body,
For good at times... but then...
Notoriety cannot be far behind.
Walked though ghostly towns,
The haunted soul seeping in me,
Filling the heart with unknown dread...
Rode through lonely corners,
Watching a single mother,
Laying out clothes to dry,
I smiled at the simple existence.
Braving the darkest of night,
In the deserts I saw the departed,
Lying without honour,
I prayed for their soul.
And then I saw a garden,
People celebrating life,
Children playing with glee,
I laughed along too...
I'm alive...
And then I moved on...
To find more such..
The ones who celebrate
Despite all odds..
And make us the wanderers
Stop and smile..
A welcome break..
A drop of salvation..
In this ride..
A ride alone!!
